Satirical engraving “The Railways” by Honoré
DAUMIER (1808–1879)
– Ah! Well, for example, the train that’s just coming along can count itself lucky to have narrowly avoided a nasty accident!... The whole lot would have gone haywire if I hadn’t kept a close eye on things....
– What on earth!... What on earth!... –
By Jove... a pin whose head was resting right on the rail.... Thank goodness I spotted it in time!.....
