Robert Alexander 1875-1945 Locomotive Paintings Walton Railway Station
Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex Railway Station Studies by Robert G Dryden
Alexander
Two most atmospheric scenes from the
days of steam when smells of coal lingered in the air and little smuts could be
found on white shirts. Steam locomotives have a wonderful sound of surging
power as they pull away from the station, a sound that conjures up memories of
greetings and farewells.
Nicely painted with subtle colour. Presented within gilt glazed frames which do
not match but hang well by one another.
