EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by William McConnell takes us back in time to the bustling platform of the London and North-Western Railway in London. The scene is filled with a vibrant crowd eagerly awaiting the arrival of the parliamentary train. The platform is teeming with activity as passengers scurry about, their luggage in tow, preparing for their journey. The architecture of the station building stands tall and grand, showcasing the impressive design that was characteristic of Victorian-era railway stations. Intriguingly, a large clock dominates the center of the composition, reminding everyone present that time waits for no one. Its hands tick away relentlessly as people hurry to catch their trains or bid farewell to loved ones. The atmosphere captured in this print is palpable - there's an undeniable sense of excitement and anticipation permeating through every figure depicted. It serves as a testament to not only McConnell's artistic talent but also his ability to transport viewers back in time. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Twice Around the Clock series, we are reminded of how railways revolutionized transportation during this era and forever changed our world. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in London's history - one where progress met tradition on these very platforms.
