EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 1882 engraving from the Liszt Collection immortalizes a momentous occasion in history - the opening of the Newbury and Didcot Railway. The image is rich with Victorian charm, showcasing various scenes that marked this significant event. The print begins with an awe-inspiring sight - the arrival of the first train at Didcot station. As steam billows from its mighty engine, onlookers gather to witness this marvel of modern transportation. Excitement fills the air as passengers disembark, eager to explore new horizons made accessible by this revolutionary rail line. Moving along, we glimpse another pivotal moment - officials declaring the line open. With great pride and anticipation for what lies ahead, they ceremoniously cut through a ribbon, symbolizing progress and connectivity. Further into our visual journey lies an enchanting scene near Crompton; where equestrians observe curiously as their equine companions encounter their first encounter with these iron horses. This juxtaposition between traditional animal-powered transport and cutting-edge locomotives showcases society's transition into a new era. In celebration of this grand achievement, Crompton residents honor it with a salute using anvils – their rhythmic booms echoing throughout town like thunderous applause for progress itself. Lastly, we are transported to Newbury en fête – adorned in festive splendor as locals revel in newfound possibilities brought forth by this
