EDITORS COMMENTS
A fiery debate ensues in this Victorian-era illustration, as passengers on a train argue against the proposed construction of the Channel Tunnel between Calais and Dover. The cramped quarters of the railway carriage provide little respite from the irritating presence of a snoring Frenchman, whose pungent aroma of garlic and frogs legs wafts through the air. The English passengers express their xenophobic sentiments, fretting about the prospect of being cooped up with their French counterparts for an extended period of time. The idea of sharing such a confined space with strangers, especially those with unpleasant habits, was a daunting prospect for many in the 1880s. The argument against the Channel Tunnel initiative intensifies, as the passengers voice their concerns about personal space and cultural differences. The illustration captures the tension and unease surrounding the idea of international travel and the potential for cultural clashes. Despite these reservations, the Channel Tunnel was eventually built and opened in 1994, revolutionizing transportation between Europe and the UK and bringing people closer together, albeit with more comfortable and odor-free conditions.
