About This Item
Milepost Publishing. Very Good/Very Good. 1995. First Edition. Hard Cover. 4to 1900193051 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Illustrated laminated hard cover. Previous owner's inscription on ffep. . Clean and tight. The Golden Years of British Steam Trains contains two, hundred and fifty glorious pictures, magnificently printed in Duotone recalling the living vitality of the steam age during its most exciting years. The pictures have been chosen by Colin Garratt from the collection of the late Rev. A.W.V. Mace and grouped into. sections of the big . four companies; L.M.S., G.W.R.; S.R. and L.N.E.R. These companies operated from 1923 until the formation of British Railways in 1948.' This twenty five year period was the high summer of steam railway operation when the most technically advanced designs worked in contrast with a plethora of ancient types dating back to the:-individual designs of the oseparate companies of pre 1923. Arthur Mace- travelled widely across Britain capturing the vibrant spirit of this exciting period. The matchless photography "contained within these covers rates him as a leading name in the history of railway photography notwithstanding that he was relatively unknown until Milepost took over the responsibility. for his pictorial legacy and published the first volume of his work in 1994. .
