"Journeying Through Time: A Glimpse into the World of Passengers" Step back in time to the early 19th century, where a view of a train of carriages drawn by a powerful locomotive steam engine on a railway captivates our imagination. This engraving on paper transports us to an era when railways were revolutionizing transportation. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway, depicted in another wood engraving from around 1830, showcases the bustling activity at its depot. The Engine Paisley and Train arrive amidst much anticipation, as passengers eagerly await their journey. But trains are not the only mode of transport that carried passengers across vast distances. A boat departing Saint-Martin-de-Re for French Guiana reminds us of maritime adventures undertaken by brave souls seeking new horizons. In this black and white photo, we catch a glimpse of the excitement mingled with trepidation as travelers set sail towards unknown destinations. On land, an engraving captures the charm of a Cabriolet Coucou traversing the road to Saint-Cloud. The elegance and leisurely pace evoke images of romantic journeys through picturesque landscapes. However, not all moments in passenger history were filled with tranquility. A colorful lithograph portrays a torpedo overturning a locomotive—a reminder that progress sometimes comes at great cost and unexpected tragedies befall those who embark on these daring expeditions. As modernity unfolds before our eyes through vibrant lithographs depicting dramas such as "The Costa Rica Train Disaster" or "The War in the Atlantic, " we witness both triumphs and tribulations faced by those entrusted to carry passengers safely from one place to another. Sometimes tragedy strikes beneath tranquil waters too; divers diligently work on recovering objects lost during shipwrecks like that of Sirio off Spain's coast or Liban near Marseille. These color lithos remind us that even after disaster strikes, there are heroes who strive to bring closure and peace to those affected.
