Second class passengers, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Second class passengers, 1844. Travellers in a railway carriage:in cold weather the second-class travellers talk but little. They wrap up the minute they get into the train, preparing for the worst; and after a few exchanged courtesies - lending an umbrella to the outsider, or spreading a cloak over two or three pairs of knees - you hear their voices no more. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Second class passengers, 1844" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of railway travel during the 19th century. The image portrays a group of second-class travelers huddled together in a cold railway carriage. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the Victorian era, with men donning hats and coats to shield themselves from the harsh weather. The engraving captures more than just their clothing; it reveals their social interactions as well. As described in an excerpt from the Illustrated London News, these second-class passengers are depicted as reserved individuals who engage in minimal conversation. Once aboard the train, they quickly wrap themselves up tightly, anticipating unfavorable conditions ahead. In this scene, acts of kindness can be observed amidst their silence. An outsider is lent an umbrella for protection against rain or snowfall while someone spreads a cloak over multiple pairs of knees to provide warmth. These small gestures showcase camaraderie among fellow travelers despite their limited communication. Through this thought-provoking print by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to experience public transportation during its early stages. It serves as a reminder that even without verbal exchanges, human connection can still be found through shared experiences and acts of consideration towards one another.
