An advertisement for the Casualty Company of America pairs its sales pitch with a scene of a train wreck, a striking choice for a company selling accident coverage. Accident insurers of the late 1800s and early 1900s often leaned on dramatic imagery because railroad travel was genuinely dangerous and many passengers worried about being hurt on a trip. The wreck was meant to make readers picture themselves on the train and consider buying a policy. The piece is worth a close look for how it turns a disaster into a reassuring promise of payment if the worst happened.
