EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of early 20th century transportation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Taken in 1914, it showcases the bustling Alto da Serra: Petropolis - Leopoldina Railway station, a hub of activity and anticipation. The image depicts a diverse group of people waiting patiently for their train to arrive. In this monochrome scene, we see men and women standing side by side, along with a young girl who adds an innocent charm to the composition. Their expressions reveal a mix of excitement and curiosity as they eagerly await their journey. The steam rising from the locomotive creates an atmosphere filled with anticipation. The perspective offered by this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the individuals but also the grandeur of the railway station itself. The architecture exudes old-world charm while reflecting Brazil's rich cultural heritage. This stunning image is part of Alured Gray Bell's book "The Beautiful Rio De Janeiro" published by William Heinemann Ltd in 1914. It serves as both a historical document capturing life during that era and as an artistic representation showcasing Bell's keen eye for detail. As we gaze at this print today, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what it was like to travel on one of Brazil's most iconic railways over a century ago.
