The science of railways
A 1904 railway engineering handbook by Marshall Monroe Kirkman, published in New York and Chicago by the World Railway Publishing Company for readers interested in railroads and transportation. The single picture is a decorative engraved vignette of a seated robed figure with a halo-like arch, a standing figure with a staff, and a small figure at a workbench, rendered in dense black linework on cream paper, suggesting a classical allegorical motif a designer could adapt for industry or craft themes.
