A Casualty Company of America advertisement built around a train wreck shows how insurers of the early 1900s used dramatic accident imagery to sell policies. Railroad crashes were common and headline-making in that era, and a company selling accident coverage could count on readers to notice a scene of smashed cars and tangled rails. The piece is worth a close look for its blend of commercial art and reportage, since the wreck does double duty as both an eye-catching illustration and a reminder of the risks that insurance was meant to cover.
