An album of original photographs of British steam trains
A cloth-bound album (200 × 275 mm) with 96 original gelatin silver photographs (each 62 × 85 mm), loosely inserted four-to-a-page behind window mounts on 12 double-sided leaves. An original photograph, trimmed to approximately 40 × 60 mm, has been mounted on the front cover. All bar 12 photographs are identified or captioned in some way in ink on the mount below the image. A typical caption is '4912 "Berrington Hall" Penzance' but about half of them have added detail, not least the date (all 1935 to 1937).
The covers are a little bowed, but essentially the album and its contents are in fine condition.
Offered together with a copy of 'The Early Years of Western Region Steam. An Album of P.M. Alexander's Photographs' by P.B. Whitehouse (Wild Swan, 1983). The contents of the album complement nicely the material in the book, which is mainly from 1948 to 1952. [2 items].
