EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1869 showcases a Pullman sleeping car on the Union Pacific Railroad. The image transports us back to the 19th century, where luxury and comfort were reserved for the upper class. Step inside this opulent railway carriage, adorned with an oriental flair, and experience the epitome of travel indulgence. The compartment exudes elegance with its monochrome interior design, offering a serene atmosphere for rest and relaxation during long journeys. As you gaze at this print, imagine reclining on one of those plush seats while being gently rocked by the rhythmic motion of the express train. This image captures not only a mode of transportation but also represents a social divide between classes in that era. It serves as a reminder of how societal hierarchies shaped even our means of travel. Ann Ronan Pictures has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their collection. The intricate details in this wood engraving allow us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such luxurious spaces and the significance they held within society. As we admire this print, let it transport us back to an era when traveling was more than just reaching a destination; it was an experience filled with grandeur and sophistication.
