Art of locomotives, railways, and trains from any time period

Guidelines

  1. Titles should be in the format "[Title]" by [Artist]
    • If adding the artists social media handle after their name, use [square brackets]
    • If adding a year after the title, use (parenthetical brackets)
    • If posting your own art, preface the title with [OC]
  2. Please include the original source in the post body
  3. This community is meant for showcasing artists' work - this excludes
    • AI generated artwork
    • Screenshots from films or games
  4. Submitting the link from the original source instead of downloading and rehosting is recommended
    • This will ease server stress on smaller lemmy instances
    • /!\ Many mobile apps don't generate previews unless the url ends with a common file extension /!\
    • Therefore, if possible, please strip all parameters after .png, .jpg, etc.
  5. Mark posts as NSFW when necessary (nudity/violence)

EDIT: From @[email protected]'s comment:

[the source] says "for the magazine 'populjarnaja mechanika'", and credits dmitri choybolsan (Дмитрий Чойболсан). it's not on the linked portfolio page, but it kind of matches his style(-ish) and it was used for the cover of 2008/№ 11:\

Original post:

I found one version of the image with "© Art. Lebedev Studio", but Wikipedia says:

Art. Lebedev Studio is a design firm in Russia, founded in 1995 by Artemy Lebedev.

~~So I don't think they are the original source, unless this is a modern retro-futuristic design.~~

i mean, i could be jumping the gun here. you may well be right. it's not listed on his page (although he seems to have at least two, so maybe there's more). but i thought that as they claim it was for that magazine and it appeared on said magazine, it could be true

It is not always possible (or worthwhile) to be sure about the sources. IMHO the best way is to just add all the info you find so that others can investigate further if they want to.
