EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant chromolitho print titled "Quick, hurry, only a two minute stop" captures the bustling atmosphere of a train station in the late 19th or early 20th century. The French School artist skillfully portrays a scene filled with haste and excitement as passengers rush to catch their trains. In this educational card, we see platform attendants dressed in fashionable costumes warning travelers about the limited two-minute stop. The humorous aspect of the artwork adds charm to the composition, highlighting both the urgency and lightheartedness of train travel during that era. The detailed depiction showcases various carriages waiting on the platform while eager travelers scurry around, emphasizing how railways revolutionized long-distance journeys. The fashion choices reflect the style prevalent at that time and provide insight into societal norms. This image from Bridgeman Images invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this lively scene - feeling the adrenaline of rushing through a crowded station, hearing announcements echoing through platforms, and witnessing fellow passengers hurrying towards their destinations. As we admire this historical piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while capturing an essence that remains timeless – our collective desire for adventure and exploration.
