EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fog Signals, 1922" takes us back to the early 20th century in Britain. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Extracted from the book "The Romance of Modern Railways" by T. W. Corbin and published by Seeley Service & Co. Limited in London, this photograph captures a close-up view of an exterior railway signal. Intriguingly monochrome, the picture showcases an engineering marvel that played a crucial role in transportation during that era - fog signals. Positioned alongside the railway tracks, these detonators emitted warning sounds when visibility was compromised due to dense fog or adverse weather conditions. Transport enthusiasts and history buffs will appreciate how this image encapsulates both technological advancements and literary references prevalent at the time. It serves as a testament to Thomas W. Corbin's passion for railways and his ability to bring their romance alive through literature. Preserved over decades, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where trains were not only means of transport but also symbols of progress and adventure. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the sights and sounds that once defined our nation's rail network – reminding us just how far we have come since those pioneering days.
