Taking in Water at Parkside, plate 13 from Coloured View of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway - A Glimpse into the Golden Age of Rail Travel
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to a pivotal moment in history - the birth of railway travel. Captured by Thomas Talbot Bury and engraved by H. Pyall, this coloured lithograph showcases the iconic Parkside station along the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. The image depicts a bustling scene as a steam engine pulls into Parkside station to take on water, an essential task for locomotives during their long journeys. Passengers eagerly await their departure or disembarkation, adding an air of excitement and anticipation to the atmosphere. Parkside holds great historical significance as it was here that tragedy struck during one fateful event. This is where Mr Huskisson fell victim to a fatal accident, forever marking this spot as a somber reminder of human fragility amidst progress. As we gaze upon this artwork from our private collection, we are transported back to an era when rail travel revolutionized transportation and connected distant cities like never before. The intricate details captured by Bury allow us to marvel at the grandeur of Georgian and Victorian engineering while imagining ourselves among these early travelers embarking on new adventures. This stunning piece serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and a reminder that progress often comes with its own set of sacrifices. It stands as a timeless tribute to those who dared dream big and paved the way for modern
