This print shows a busy train station with bright colors. A red train sits on the tracks, and people in old-fashioned clothes walk around or wait on the platform. The station has big windows, flags hanging outside, and a fence in front. In the background, there’s a building with a green roof and a harbor with ships. Look closer at the people’s clothes—they mix Western and traditional styles. This print was made around 1870, when trains were a new way to travel. Check out train station designs from the same time period.
