EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of 'The Workmen's Train' from Gustave Dore and Blanchard Jerrold's London: A Pilgrimage, dating all the way back to 1872. The scene captures the hustle and bustle of Gower Street station on the Metropolitan underground railway, which first opened its doors in 1863.
In this wood engraving by Dore, we see a group of workers eagerly rushing to catch their morning train, steam billowing out from the locomotives as they prepare for another day of hard work in bustling London. The detail and intricacy of Dore's work bring this historical moment to life, transporting us back to a time when steam trains ruled the rails.
