Comments:
by Austin Sprake:
"The Present Time." An eight-carriage train with L.N.W.R. Webb engine travelling from left to right. Tunnel in left background. Title often omitted, just "woven in pure silk" printed on mount.

by Geoffrey Godden:
In this late variation of one of the earliest titles, an eight-coach train has emerged from a distant tunnel and is travelling diagonally towards the viewer from left to right. The design was registered as number 387605 on 21 February 1902 and is found on type E card-mounts, sometimes without the title.
