Steam: Gone But Not Forgotten

$70.00

Summary

A compilation of the very best from a vast collection of the late Graham Palmer during the last years of steam — a vivid snapshot of steam in New South Wales from 1964 to 1969.

These images capture not just the engines, but the infrastructure, the grime, the atmosphere, and the deep connection between steam locomotives and their communities.

A 160-page hardcover (28 × 25 cm) with a superb glossy jacket, printed on 150 gsm silk art paper. Every monochrome image is reproduced with the rich dynamic range associated with the subject and era.
