Framed Print of Pity the poor strap hanger
An image illustrating the introduction of hand straps on underground trains. When straps were added to underground railway carriages in the early 1900s, there was an outcry among travellers. The Tatler was one of several papers who echoed public feeling and felt that the idea of commuters having to stand for such distances was unfair.
