This satirical portrayal serves as a commentary on the rapid advancements in technology during that era. The color image showcases four individuals engaged in different modes of transport while highlighting the detrimental effects on the environment. It reminds us of our responsibility to consider sustainability when developing new transportation methods. This archival photography print from Hulton Archive offers a glimpse into history when steam power was at its peak.
