Book Description

Or, Iron Road Books, for perusal on the journey: In which are noted the towns, villages, churches, mansions, parks, stations, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, cuttings, gradients, &c., the scenery and its natural history, the antiquities and their historical associations, &c., passed by the line of the railway. Second Edition. Paper covers with titles to the upper cover and publisher's advertisement to lower, both with vignette views and enclosing 16 folding panels measuring 210 x 21.2 cm in total, revealing a chart of the railway line between London and Brighton with vignette views and descriptions of notable places of interest en route. Covers dust-soiled and lightly worn at extremities with a few small holes in the spine and 1cm splits in the spine at the head and foot together with a touch of creasing to the corners . Internally the panels are a little toned to the edges with occasional light spotting. All in all a remarkable survival produced in the earliest years of the Brighton Line.
