8666312 Eisenbahn-Coupe / Railway Coupe (colour litho) by German School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Eisenbahn-Coupe. Bevor Auto, Flugzeug und Luftschiff die schnellsten Verkehrsmittel wurden, stand nur die Eisenbahn zur Verfugung. Hier galt das Vierklassensystem, die Abteile waren aber kleiner und enger, als heutzutage. Da es keine Speisewagen gab, mussten die Fern-Reisenden in den nach Klassen getrennten Wartesalen der Bahnhofe an einer grossen Tafel ihre Mahlzeiten einnehmen. Translation: Railway Coupe. Before cars, planes and airships became the fastest means of transport, only the railways were available. The four-class system applied here, but the compartments were smaller and narrower than today. Since there were no dining cars, long-distance travelers had to eat their meals at a large table in the train station waiting rooms, which were divided according to class.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Eisenbahn-Coupe / Railway Coupe" transports us back to a bygone era when the railways reigned supreme as the fastest mode of transportation. The image depicts a luxurious railway coupe, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of train travel in the early 20th century. Before the advent of cars, planes, and airships, trains were the primary means of long-distance travel. The four-class system was in place, with compartments that were smaller and more intimate than those found on modern trains. Passengers had to dine at large tables in station waiting rooms since dining cars had not yet been introduced. The detailed illustration captures the essence of a time when train journeys were a grand affair, filled with opulence and charm. It offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of a simpler time when travel was an experience to be savored. This print is part of Deutsche Kulturbilder's collection from 1934, providing historical insight into Germany's cultural heritage. It serves as a visual representation of an era where railways played a vital role in connecting people across vast distances. A true masterpiece that celebrates the beauty and nostalgia of train travel in days gone by.
