Projecting advertisements from a moving train
Illuminated advertisements, projected from a moving train for the benefit of the passengers.

Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of a train projecting illuminated advertisements as it moves through a dark tunnel. This innovative concept, which dates back to the 1910s, predated the moving image advertisements that would later become commonplace on the platforms and in the carriages of underground and metro railways around the world. The train's exterior was fitted with a system of projectors that cast vivid, colorful images onto the tunnel walls, providing a visual spectacle for passengers traveling in the darkened subterranean passages. This groundbreaking idea, which combined the allure of futuristic technology with the excitement of advertising, was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the early 20th century. The image, with its atmospheric tunnel setting and enigmatic advert, transports us back in time and invites us to ponder the origins of modern advertising and the role of innovation in shaping our transportation systems.
