A compilation of the very best from a vast collection of images taken by the late Graham Palmer during the last years of steam.
This is a snap shot of steam as it operated in the years 1964 to 1969 in New South Wales, Australia. It captures not only the magic of steam engines, but the infrastructure, the grime, the beauty, the atmosphere and the connection of trains to their community.
This 28 × 25cm hardcover book is 160 pages in length with a supurb glossy jacket. Printed on 150 gsm silk art paper, each monochrome image has a deep dynamic range which reproduces the detail associated with the subject and the era.
