About this copy
This is the first edition of this volume in the Blandford 'Railways of the World in Colour' series, tracing the earliest history of railways from wagon-ways through to the developed steam railway age of the mid-19th century, illustrated with colour plates depicting locomotives from Britain, Europe and the USA. Hardcover in original illustrated dust jacket.
