Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Bourne, John C
Title: The History and Description of the Great Western Railway, including its Geology...
Place Published: London
Publisher:David Bouge, Fleet Street
Date Published: 1846
Description:

76 pp. With 47 views and architectural details on 33 sheets, 2 hand-colored maps and geological cross-section. (Large folio) 53x35.5 cm (21x14"), later dark brown crushed morocco, marbled endpapers, raised bands spine titled in gilt. First Edition, Second Issue.

Early work on England's Great Western Railway, detailing railway engineering, with extensive description and illustration, notable in its own right, and also as an early example of lithographic reproduction. The text was in fact written by George Thomas Clark, an engineer and geologist, rather than John C. Bourne who generally receives the credit due to his attribution on the title page. The 1846 edition (offered here) is said to feature sheets from the 1843 edition with a new title page, but this has not been confirmed.

Condition

Some shelfwear and joints cracking a bit but fully intact; dampstain to inner margin of ffep; 1" closed tear at bottom of title and dedication pages repaired with tape; light toning throughout and offset of plates; very good.
