A steam locomotive that once ran on the Umeå line. In the background stands Tornhuset by Rådhusparken, built in 1892 as the city’s first wood-fired power station, with its neo-medieval tower that once also housed the fire station. To the right, the tower of Umeå Cathedral, consecrated the same year, is just visible.
Where trains once ran and ships docked, today stand the Strandpromenaden and Rådhusparken. The railway, the harbour and the locomotive shed have long since disappeared. The place looks nothing like it once did.
The ink is mixed with coffee. Each print is hand-drawn and unique in tone.
A memento of a cityscape that has vanished.
