'The Modern Dick Turpin; Or, Highwayman and Railwayman', 1868. A comment on the performance of the country's railway network. Many railway companies formed agreements between themselves to avoid competition. No major legislation had been passed concerning the railways since The Railway Act of 1844. Here, the Railway Director sits astride his Iron Horse and boasts to the ghost of Dick Turpin that the railways have a Royal Assent to their robbery. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 15, 1868.
