Colin Garratt è stato un fotografo ferroviario il cui lavoro si è concentrato sull'evocare il fascino e la storia del viaggio su rotaia attraverso il suo obiettivo. Spesso pubblicava album fotografici in cui selezionava e corredava di didascalie le opere di altri fotografi. Il suo approccio alla pubblicazione, in cui si elencava come autore principale con il suo nome sul dorso, ha suscitato discussioni sull'autorialità e sul riconoscimento degli artisti originali. La sua eredità risiede nella sua vasta documentazione visiva del mondo ferroviario.
This book looks back over a century of locomotive production around the world, capturing engines on plantations, in heavy industry and on the main lines. With 200 photographs from four continents, author and photographer Colin Garratt's memorable scenes and absorbing text encapsulate the lasting appeal of the age of steam. A gold-foiled jacket ensures that this is a book for steam enthusiasts to treasure.
A beautifully produced and illustrated compendium of British steam trains. Lightest of wear to book, some wear to the lower edge of the jacket, with a tear at the lower rear spine joint.
The steam locomotive was possibly Britain's greatest technological gift to the world. This book is not only a celebration of British world pre-eminence in railway pioneering, but a record of the surviving working British steam locomotives.
This exciting book has been heralded as the finest visual record of British Tramways ever published. Recognising the depth and content of Henry Priestley's photography, Colin Garratt embarked on the task of collating a representative example of his work embracing the whole of Britain. This was done in conjunction with the National Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire where Henry Priestley's tramway legacy is being conserved.During the spring of 1995, when the final stages of this book were in production, Colin Garratt undertook a series of recorded interviews with Henry Priestley. These have proved a fascinating insight into the remarkable career of this little known photographer whose creative work has spanned a period of over 75 years. The originals of these tapes are now also held at the National Tramway Museum.It is with great pride that Milepost presents this book which along with a new volume on the railway legacy of the Rev. A.W.V. Mace, is the first to be produced by the newly formed publishing division of Milepost 92.
This fascinating insight into the development of this mode of transport from the early beginnings of steam power to todays awe-inspiring high-speed passenger trains, will appeal to every railway enthusiast.
