EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the birth of the world's first intercity railway, the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. In 1830, this groundbreaking engineering marvel was unveiled to connect two major cities in England, forever changing the landscape of transportation. Engineered by the legendary George Stephenson, this railway line showcased his ingenuity and determination. The photograph showcases various elements that made this project remarkable, including viaducts, tunnels, and an innovative floating crossing over peat bogs at Chat Moss. Plate 11 from Coloured view of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway provides us with a glimpse into this historic event. The lithograph beautifully depicts a picturesque countryside scene as we look towards Manchester from near Liverpool. It is evident that both technology and nature coexist harmoniously in this industrial revolution era. The steam locomotive featured on the railway track symbolizes progress and innovation during this time period.
