Erie Railway · 1874 · [New York? Erie railway company] · 18 pictures

A tourist guide issued by the Erie Railway company around 1874, probably in New York, promoting scenic travel along its lines to passengers. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of lakes, falls, cliffs and a steamer-filled waterfront, each framed in an arched or oval vignette, offering a designer period vignette framing and nineteenth-century landscape treatment with dense hatching for tonal depth.
