[Articles and clippings relating to British railways]

1898 · 14 pictures

This is a scrapbook-style collection of clippings from The Railway Magazine, compiled in Britain around 1898 and aimed at railway enthusiasts. Its photographs show steam locomotives hauling goods and passenger trains past works and along embankments, with plans of station yards and small views of stations, platforms and bridges. A designer could draw on the stark black-and-white halftone photography, the dense smoke plumes and the diagrammatic station plan for vintage industrial graphics.
