Dangers of steam carriages. 19th-century caricature lampooning the dangers of the steam carriages being developed at this time. A steam carriage at right has exploded. At lower left,the drivers of a horse-drawn carriage with safety and insurance adverts comment: 'Blown up by God,and not one soul left behind' and 'Well,they will have their hobbies'. In the background are a kite-drawn vehicle,a sailing gondola vehicle,and a balloon vehicle,with the occupants of the latter commenting: 'We'll take a flight to heaven tonight,and leave dull Earth behind us'. Artwork from the third volume (first period of 1889) of the French popular science weekly 'La Science Illustree' | |
