Great for the train buff or those who like historical photos This work is a comprehensive collection of historic photos of trains, tressels, stations and railroad memorabilia by Kinsey in the late 1800's.. "Quality throughout" according to A Customer. This is a beautifully produced work of a master photographer. The large format duotone prints are a joy to look at, with crisp detail and lovely tones. The book provides excellent examples of Darius' ability to capture the majestic beauty of hard working (but well cared for) steam locomotives (both geared and rod), along with the people whose lives they touched (engine crew, loggers, camp crew and families).
