Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1844
A group is traveling on the roof of a train and it is about to enter a tunnel. This print offers commentary on both the relative safety of railway travel and the different three different classes available for passengers. The trains of this time offered three different classes: The "Coupé" (1st class) at 2 francs for the trip Paris - St. Germain, the "Diligence" or "Berline" (2nd class) at 1,50 francs, and the open-air "Wagon" (3rd class) at 1 franc. The 1st class was occupied only by 1% of the passengers.
