Summary

[edit]
Artist
Wouterus Verschuur (1812-1874), painting in collection of nl:Het Spoorwegmuseum.
Description
English: Painting of a field with horses, a train and a signalman with flag. The semaphore is for exchanging messages between signal posts, not for giving orders to the train crew. This painting is dated shortly after 1845 (Asselberghs 1981). The church in the background is the St-Bavo church in Haarlem (The Netherlands)
Nederlands: Schilderij waarop een veld met paarden, een trein van Haarlem naar Amsterdam en een wachter met vlag. Rechts van de wachter bevindt zich de optische telegraaf waarmee berichten worden uitgewisseld tussen de wachtposten. De kerk op de achtergrond is de Grote of St.-Bavokerk in Haarlem. Het schilderij dateert men kort na 1845, toen de elektrische telegraaf tussen Amsterdam en Haarlem in gebruik was genomen (zie Asselberghs 1981).

Source/Photographer Self-made scan of a reproduction of the painting in: Marie-Anne Asselberghs, Daar komt de trein, Amsterdam: De Bezige Bij, 1981, p. 41

Scan is rather poor quality. Tried to improve the colors a bit to get them closer in appearance to the colors in the book, but didn't fully succeed.
