Title - Clapham Junction.
Location - Clapham Junction, London, England.
Artist - Terence Tenison Cuneo (1907-1996).
Description - A very famous railway location, painted by the master of railway subjects. Cuneo's viewpoint was on top of one of the large signal gantries which straddled the tracks at that time. This wonderfully atmospheric composition is full of accurate details, assisted by the local signalmen! The image was created to show the transition from steam to electric and diesel, and also to illustrate what a busy and complex job running the railway was, at the busiest junction complex in Europe.
