EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical engraving from the 19th century, titled "Railway profits and losses" we are transported back in time to witness a humorous take on the financial world of railways. The image, part of a private collection, captures the essence of both amusement and chaos that often accompanied stock market speculation during that era. Depicted within this entertaining scene are various elements synonymous with railway culture: trains, crashes, and even an exchange floor bustling with activity. The artist's clever wit shines through as they playfully highlight the ups and downs experienced by investors in their pursuit of profits. The comic nature of this print is further emphasized by its origin as an illustration for Fun magazine in 1862. This publication was known for its satirical content, making it the perfect platform to poke fun at the unpredictable nature of finances tied to railway shares. While accidents may befall some unfortunate characters within these pages, it is important to note that this artwork does not represent any specific company or commercial use. Instead, it serves as a lighthearted reminder that even in times past, financial endeavors were subject to unexpected twists and turns. Bridgeman Images has preserved this delightful piece from history so that we may continue to appreciate its amusing portrayal of railway profits and losses.
