Their depiction of the L&MR not only provides historical insight into the operation and infrastructure of early railways but also reflects the broader societal changes brought about by the advent of rapid transportation.
The artwork serves as a valuable visual document of the era, capturing the industrial landscape, the design of the early locomotives, and the interactions between the railway workers and the machinery.
