Advertising a funicular railway, the artist has taken a "yesterday and today" approach. Yesterday, a portly gentleman in a tan suit is being unsuccessfully pushed and pulled up a mountain slope. Today, an equally unfit gentleman, this time in dark brown top hat and tails with a companion dressed elegantly in pink and green, is relaxing and enjoying the view from inside the cog-railway car; lettering in red.
