Sensational inheritance: Portrait of Germany's first train driver discovered - long considered lost. DB Museum Nuremberg has achieved an unexpected legacy in the form of an inconspicuous cigar box.
However, there was no tobacco in it, but a small work of art: a porcelain painting of William Wilson, the legendary engine driver of the Adler locomotive. The painting measures about seven by five and a half centimeters - but its historical value is enormous. It is currently in the collection of the DB Museum.
