Snell, J. B. Early Railways. London: Octopus Books, 1972, p. 76.
Snell's beautifully illustrated volume, which Weidenfeld and Nicholson first published in 1964, is a treasure trove of images of early railroading's history and pre-history and includes not only contemporary paintings and drawings but also photographs of restored equipment, recreations, and models.
