About this copy
This is the first Dover edition of this title, described on the copyright page as 'a new work, first published by Dover Publications, Inc., in 1972.' It compiles 147 period engravings of 19th-century American locomotives, originally sourced from the contemporary trade press, arranged chronologically from 1804 to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, with explanatory text by the author, then Chairman of the Department of Industries at the Smithsonian Institution. Issued in Dover's illustrated paperback wrappers (large format, approx. 11 3/8 x 8 1/4 inches).
No dust jacket, as issued in paper covers.
Condition
