EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the evolution of railway carriages from the early 19th century to the modern day. In the past, passengers traveled in simple trolleys or open carriages, with only those paying higher fares enjoying covered accommodations. Fast forward to today, and we see a luxurious dining saloon for third-class passengers, complete with polished mahogany woodwork, leather upholstered seats, and carpeted floors.
The contrast between past and present is striking - from basic transportation to a comfortable and stylish travel experience. The advancements in technology are evident with electric lighting and fans installed for passenger comfort. The evolution of railway carriages reflects not only progress but also the changing expectations of travelers over time.
This image is part of a set of cigarette cards on the theme of Past & Present issued by Wills in 1929. It serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come in terms of travel amenities and convenience. Whether you're a history buff or simply appreciate fine art, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the transformation of rail travel through the ages.
