'Patent First-Class Costume for the Collision Season', 1876. Travel by train was a risky business in the 1870s and collisions were not uncommon. The two men in this cartoon are well prepared for any eventuality. This was a regular topic in Punch as the journal often highlighted the lack of proper investment in the country's railway network. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 19, 1876.
