EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this wood engraving of an escalator at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's Cortland Street Station in New York. Dating back to 1893, this image showcases the innovative Reno-Cail system that powered this electrically operated escalator. With a length of 13 meters and an elevation of 6 meters, this piece of machinery was truly ahead of its time.
The intricate details captured in this print transport you to a bustling train station in turn-of-the-century America. The wooden materials used in the construction add a touch of old-world charm to the modern technology depicted. The hustle and bustle of commuters moving up and down the escalator are frozen in time, giving us a glimpse into daily life over a century ago.
As you study this image closely, you can almost hear the sounds of trains arriving and departing, feel the energy of travelers rushing to catch their rides, and smell the steam from locomotives filling the air. It serves as a reminder that progress is constant, but history always has something fascinating to teach us.
This wood engraving is not just a snapshot from another era; it's a window into how innovation shapes our world and connects us across time and space.
