color plates of locomotives, stations, dining cars, and passengers—all capturing the excitement of American rail travel in the decades around 1900. Large in format with bold images and period text, this is classic McLoughlin Bros., whose
color work defined the golden age of American picture-book printing.Illustrations are dated 1898 and 1908, placing this firmly in McLoughlin’s late transitional period just before the company was absorbed by Milton Bradley. The book’s lively plates and vibrant colors make it especially appealing to collectors of early rail history, toy-train ephemera, and chromolithographic printing.Condition: Covers show moderate to heavy wear, edge creasing, and partial spine splitting. Light soiling and several small tears as shown. Interior plates remain bright, clean, and attractive, with light age toning and occasional marginal pencil scribbles—typical for these fragile titles. Rear cover shows evidence of the usual “child’s enthusiasm.”Complete and structurally sound overall, and better preserved than most surviving copies.Why Collect?McLoughlin Bros. produced some of the finest chromolithographed picture books of their era. Their railroad-themed titles are among the most sought after, blending transportation history with nostalgic Americana. A charming display piece for the holidays and a strong entry-level collectible for train enthusiasts, picture-book collectors, and those drawn to turn-of-the-century
color printing. 🎄✨~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CUSTOMER SERVICE100% FEEDBACK ~ 26 YEARS ON EBAY ~ 5-STAR SERVICEPacked Tight ~ Shipped FastInternational Buyers WelcomePAYMENTPayment through Paypal is preferred.Also accepted are Venmo, G Pay, Visa,MasterCard, Amex and Discovercard.Please pay at time of purchase.SHIPPING USA - - $4.95WORLDWIDE - - YES!
