Train Station - Wuppertal Suspension Railway 1913 Postcard
Colourized photo from 1913, Jan 8
Original Title: Elerfeld-barmen road
Location: Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia
Imagine your a hundred or so years ago, you look up, and a train, flies over your head. Almost surreal, this is the future, a train that doesn't travel on the ground.
This train was designed by Eugene Langen, sold to Berlin back in 1901. While there were still trolley's on the ground, this electric elevated train "flew" over the Wupper river that was there. At the time it really showed a certain kind of ingenuity and technology they had back then.
Looking back on this, you might wonder what its like to ride on it. Well, if you go to Germany right now, you can find out. This train is still in operation, that very station is totally intact as well. The system worked so well, that they are still using it. The town looks totally different though, WWII took care of that. And they had to rebuild the rail as well after that.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
