A propos de cet article

A substantial early 20th-century illustrated work exploring the development of railways across the globe, written by Ernest Protheroe. This copy is a Stanley Special Prize for Science, 1920, with original prize bookplate from the County Borough of Croydon, making it a particularly attractive and collectible example. Hardback bound in original purple cloth with gilt decoration, featuring an embossed locomotive scene to the front and gilt lettering to the spine.

Light foxing and age-toning to prelims and some internal pages; text and illustrations remain clear and legible. Binding sound.…
