52 page complete article from the January 26th 1894 issue of "Engineering" Magazine, with 39 full page & half page photogravure plates of the various sections of swing bridges and engineering details with many elevation & side section engineer drawings. There is a double page plate of the "Barton Swing Bridge" + "Moore Lane Bridge", railway bridges, etc the pages are numbered 97 to 152 with some other sections AND a 33 page section on the last "Broad Guage" railway track (Brunel design) being removed at Plymouth and the last steam train "Flying Dutchman" using it from Paddington. Disbound but complete as a serious article on this project. Quarto. *The 36 mile Manchester Ship Canal arguably the greatest of the Victorian engineering feats was opened in January 1894 so this article is on point and I have attributed the details to the chief engineer (see author). Queen Victoria officially opened the Canal in May.

Store description
We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.…
