Wouterus Verschuur Semafoor en wachter nabij Haarlem, Wouterus Verschuur

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).
