EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a crucial safety mechanism in the world of railways - the communication cord. The image showcases an intricate illustration from "The Wonder World of Why and How" believed to be from around 1930. In this print, we see the communication cord, a lifeline that connects passengers with train drivers during emergencies. This vital piece of equipment serves as a warning system, enabling individuals on board to alert the driver about any imminent danger or urgent situation. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line and curve intricately depicts the inner workings of this signal mechanism. It beautifully portrays how technology was employed even back then to ensure passenger safety on trains. Transporting us back in time, this lithograph reminds us of the importance placed on communication and innovation within railway systems. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the shrill sound of an alarm echoing through train carriages, signaling potential danger ahead. This print not only celebrates technological advancements but also serves as a timeless reminder that effective communication remains at the heart of ensuring safe travels for all those who embark on these iron tracks.
