Novara - Seregno & Abandoned Lines
A number of significant illustrations of the Stations in Bloom contest on the Novara Seregno line.
The available material is not easy to catalogue, because it consists of a few residual scraps testifying to a world that was all too soon forgotten. Some of the pictures of these places, such as Busto Arsizio, represent the good care taken of the railway stations during the course of their ordinary operation, while others, such as Castano, are original in that they are taken directly from the house organ of the day, perfectly representing in images the dedication to their work that is so hard to find anywhere today.
