EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting by renowned British artist Terence Cuneo captures the hustle and bustle of Waterloo Station in London during the late 1960s. Painted in 1967, the artwork offers a unique perspective of the station concourse as seen from the first-floor British Rail Southern Regional boardroom windows. The scene is filled with the sights and sounds of a bygone era. Steam locomotives, the station's iconic clock, and various kiosks are prominently displayed, adding to the authenticity of the scene. Passengers in their smart attire hurry about their business, while porters in their distinctive uniforms navigate the crowds with ease. Politicians of the day can also be spotted, deep in conversation, no doubt discussing matters of national importance. Waterloo Station, a hub of activity and transportation since its opening in 1848, is depicted in all its glory. The platforms, teeming with passengers and their luggage, are a testament to the station's importance as a major transportation hub. Shops and kiosks line the concourse, offering a variety of goods and services to travelers. The use of rich, vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring the painting to life, transporting the viewer back in time. The steam locomotives, with their powerful presence, stand in stark contrast to the modern clocks and shops, highlighting the rapid changes taking place in the railway industry during the late 1960s. This painting, a treasure from the National Railway Museum, is a must-see for anyone with an interest in railway history or British art. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of Waterloo Station during a time when steam locomotives ruled the rails.
