The science of railways

Kirkman, Marshall Monroe, 1842-1921 · 1904 · New York, Chicago, The World Railway Publishing Company · 18 pictures

A 1904 New York and Chicago reference work on railways by Marshall Monroe Kirkman, aimed at general readers and transport students, illustrated with engravings of carts, wagons and animal-drawn transport from around the world. The pictures are black-and-white line engravings showing ox carts, a hand-pushed wheeled vehicle, a dairy cart drawn by dogs and a Chinese wheelbarrow carriage, each drawn with clear outlines and hatched shading that a designer could borrow for vintage transport graphics.
