EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1888 showcases an advertisement found in Aldens Oxford Guide, a renowned publication of its time. The image captures the essence of 19th-century England, with its bustling streets and vibrant city life. The focal point of the print is a train, symbolizing the era's growing fascination with public transport and technological advancements. It serves as a reminder of how transportation played a crucial role in connecting people and facilitating their daily lives. Surrounding the train are various elements that depict the diverse activities taking place in Oxfordshire. Boating parties can be seen enjoying leisurely rides along picturesque rivers, while bicyclists add to the lively atmosphere by traversing through busy streets. Prominently featured are two prominent hotels - The Mitre Hotel and The Alliance Commercial and Family Temperance Hotel - both offering accommodation for visitors seeking moderate cost options during their stay in Oxford. This highlights not only the importance of tourism but also reflects society's changing values towards temperance at that time. Overall, this engraving provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century Europe, showcasing not just transportation advancements but also highlighting aspects such as education (with references to universities) and social trends (such as temperance). It serves as a fascinating historical document capturing an era filled with progress, diversity, and cultural richness.
