Paul Stratford Ordine dei libri

In this fabulous new collection of images, PaulStratford has captured the magnificence of these superbmachines, often in settings that look much thesame as they did fifty or a hundred years ago. Heevokes an atmosphere of a happier time when faith inBritish engineering and pride in skilled work well donewere hallmarks of working life, and when thepounding of these stupendous mechanical beasts wasa regular occurrence in the fields, fairs and highwaysof England.

In more than 140 images of engines in settings which recall their original glory, Stratford captures the essence of these machines. This book is intended as a tribute to the traction engine manufacturers and to those who have laboured long and hard to preserve and restore some of these engines.
