Conway behang van Zoffany. Dit epitomie van Art Deco-ontwerp, dit glorieuze geometrische roterende print met brede breedte is een getrouwe interpretatie van een archiefdocument uit de jaren 1930.

Found in 1923 to take passengers from Johannesburg to the ships departing from Cape Town to England. The Blue Train was introduced luxury features such as a dining saloon in 1933 and air-conditioned carriages in 1939 and has become one of the most luxurious train journeys in the world. The Blue Train boasts butler service, two lounge cars (smoking and non-smoking), an observation car, and carriages with gold-tinted picture windows, in soundproofed, fully carpeted compartments, each featuring its own en-suite (many of which are equipped with a full-sized bathtub). After a break in service in World War II the service returned in 1946. In 1997 it was refurbished and relaunched. The service of the Blue Train is promoted as a "magnificent moving five-star hotel" by its operators, who note that kings and presidents have traveled on it. Here is a rare collection of amazing photos from Hilton Teper that shows the comfortable interior of these trains in South Africa from between the 1920s and 1950s.
