Subject: The print celebrates the opening of the very first real passenger railway in France. It ran between Paris and Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Visual style: Characteristic of Épinal prints are the bright, hand-colored fields and the lively, popular scenes. It shows spectators in 19th-century clothing gazing in awe at the early steam train.
