EDITORS COMMENTS
En route from Caen to Paris: a railway crossing captures the essence of travel and adventure in 19th-century France. This vibrant colour lithograph, created by Thomas Crane, takes us on a visual journey through Northern Europe's picturesque landscapes. The scene depicts a bustling railway crossing, where an elegant French woman stands beside the gatekeeper as he blows his horn to signal the approaching train. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation as travelers prepare for their trip to the enchanting city of Paris. Every detail in this print tells a story - from the traditional French costumes and clogs worn by locals, to the fluttering flags that proudly represent France. It serves as both an educational tool and an invitation to explore foreign lands. Originally published as an illustration for Abroad by Thomas Crane and Ellen Houghton, this artwork transports us back in time to experience the charm of 19th-century tourism. It reminds us of the transformative power of railways, which opened up new horizons for exploration and connected people across vast distances. This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into history, culture, and adventure. It invites viewers to embark on their own imaginary journey through France's rich heritage while celebrating its unique customs and traditions.
