EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a proposed design for Forest Hill Station in Lewisham, London, dating back to 1851. The artist's perspective beautifully captures the architectural vision for this station on the renowned London and Brighton Railway. However, it is important to note that this grand station was never constructed according to this specific design.

The anonymous artist skillfully brings to life a vibrant scene filled with bustling activity outside the station. People of all walks of life are seen going about their daily routines against a backdrop of charming Victorian buildings. The watercolour technique used adds an element of color and charm to the image, allowing viewers to imagine what could have been had this proposal come into fruition.
