EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Muscle, spades and picks" by Harold Robert Millar takes us back to a time when railway construction was a manual labor-intensive process. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers, known as navvies, who were responsible for laying the tracks that would connect cities and transport people across vast distances. In this vibrant color lithograph, we see the muscular men wielding their tools with determination and strength. Their sweat-drenched bodies reflect the physical exertion required in their line of work. Surrounding them are children, captivated by the spectacle before them. These young onlookers are filled with awe as they witness firsthand the incredible effort it takes to build such an intricate transportation system. The composition not only highlights the hard work involved but also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration among these builders. Each individual plays a crucial role in constructing something that will shape future generations' travel experiences. Millar's illustration originally appeared in "My Railway Book" published by Blackie around 1935. This timeless piece serves as a reminder of our rich history and how far we have come in terms of technological advancements within the world of railways. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this artwork is sure to captivate any viewer who appreciates both artistry and historical significance.
