A Book of Trains

Nice retro card, received from Germany, with front cover from A Book of Trains, 1951. Cover illustration by F.E. Courtney.

 The book explains to young people early forms of human transport, railways, types of locomotives and signalling, streamlining, and other railway matters. Illustrations are based on black-and-white drawings, some with careful red, green and yellow overlays.

Stamp is The 100th Anniversary of the Möhnetalsperre Dam, issued on 04.04.2013.


Thank you Mercedes!
