Artwork description:

I love old steam trains and depots. The Livermore train depot was built in 1892 as part of the Southern Pacific railway system. In the summer of 2017, the city of Livermore, California moved the historic train depot a few blocks away from it’s original location and restored it to how it looked at the turn of the 20th century. Since I love old historical buildings AND trains, I really wanted to make a linocut of it. I took it back in time and placed it around 1905, right before the famous San Francisco 1906 earthquake knocked part of the brick chimney down. People are dressed in the Edwardian style of that time period.

This is a limited edition print, carved onto a linoleum block, then hand printed on Rives BFK creme paper, on my etching press. Each print is signed by me, numbered and is an original piece of art.

Each one is unique; the printing varies slightly, which is inherent in hand pulled linocuts.

Materials used:

Rives BFK creme paper, ink
