The wood engraving, skillfully colorized in Paris, transports us back to an era where travel was synonymous with luxury and sophistication. Stepping into this interior masterpiece is like entering a time capsule from the 19th century. Every detail exudes elegance, from the richly adorned walls to the plush velvet seats that invite passengers to indulge in comfort during their journey. The attentive waiter dressed impeccably adds an element of refined service to this enchanting scene. The concept of luxury is palpable as we envision upper-class travelers enjoying delectable meals while savoring breathtaking views passing by outside.
