The Railway Station, hand-coloured engraving by Francis Holl, based on an earlier painting by William Powell Frith, 1866.
The energetic scene here shows passengers preparing to board their train at Paddington Station, London. At the time, Paddington was a cutting-edge building, constructed from cast iron and glass and lit by gaslight. It was the London terminus of the Great Western Railway, with trains running to Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Plymouth and the West Country.
