EDITORS COMMENTS
. This thought-provoking print captures an 1871 American cartoon by Thomas Nast, shedding light on the alarming frequency of fatal railroad and steamboat accidents during that era. The image portrays a powerful commentary on the dangers faced by passengers as they embarked on their journeys. In this illustration, we see a train car interior divided into two distinct scenes. On the left side, representing rail travel, we witness a grim reaper-like figure personifying death itself. Clad in a dark cloak and holding an ominous scythe, it stands amidst wreckage symbolizing past accidents. Men and women are depicted reading newspapers with expressions of concern etched upon their faces while contemplating the risks associated with their voyage. On the right side of the image, representing steamboat travel, another scene unfolds. A skeleton wearing a top hat sits atop a sinking vessel as terrified passengers scramble for safety. This haunting depiction serves as a stark reminder of the perils encountered during these waterborne journeys. Through this evocative artwork, Nast highlights society's growing concerns about transportation safety in America at that time. It prompts us to reflect upon our own constant traveling companion – risk – which accompanies us throughout our lives' many expeditions.
