Description:
|
Partial page cartoon. Since the beginning of rail travel, regular trains carried coffins in their baggage cars. In London, cemeteries in the city were running out of space, so the idea of a Funeral Train, the London Necropolis Railroad, came about. It carried coffins to cemeteries located outside the city. Life magazine covers were on a variety of topics. Each issue had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue.
