Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. "Symphony in Steam", a book written and photographed in color by Colin D. Garratt, which, while presenting a real encapsulation of the rise, glory and demise of the age of railroading, at the same time, is one of the most romantic books on English railways that I have ever seen. In large part this is because of Mr. Garratt's marvelous photographs, many of which verge on the poetic. Also contributing to the romance is the author's wonderful visual record of locomotives at work, but also his unflinching look at the sad end of so many giant locomotives, as they slowly grind their way into the dark and fire-lit caverns where their magnificent bodies are rendered into parts and metals. A fascinating, fact-filled text accompanies the photographs. TITLE : Symphony in Steam AUTHOR : Colin D. Garratt PHOTOGRAPHS : Colin D. Garratt FOREWORD : O. S.
