Haworth, England—the German Graf Zeppelin recently arrived in England and landed a humber of passengers from Germany at Haworth Airport, is seen surrounded by the dense crowd immediately upon her arrival on British soil. Shortly after this picture was taken, the craft, with a new complement of passengers, started on a twenty-four-hour air cruise of Britain.

“The Schienenzeppelin or rail zeppelin was an experimental railcar which resembles a zeppelin airship in appearance.” I may have posted photos of this thing before, but there’s something about the contrast of the high-tech machine and the old-fashioned clothing on the people waiting for it that’s wonderful. (via, via. Lesson learnt: when you see a historical image on ffffound or a similar design site, always check Wikipedia first; it’s probably from there.)
