Last Train Home, 1890s
In the soft light of the 1890s, steam rises at the Valletta Railway Station as Last Train Home prepares to depart. Beneath the arches of the bridge and in the shadow of the city gate, a couple shares a quiet, lingering farewell before one steps aboard the train bound for home.
Set against the architectural grandeur of Valletta’s Porta Reale, this illustration captures more than just a moment of departure; it captures the emotion that comes with every journey. The arches, the rails, the steam — all become a setting for longing, parting, and the promise of return.
Part of Kartelluni’s Welcome on Board collection, Last Train Home is a tribute to Malta’s beautiful 50-year railway era, and to the timeless human stories that unfolded along its tracks.
