Black and white drawing of a steam train traveling through a valley. The drawing shows the train passing through a pasture with a trio of cows that’s surrounded by trees and a large church. This lovely pastoral landscape drawing which features a steam train would make a great addition to your next creative project.
I have had the pleasure of working with a number of these vintage children’s encylopedias form the 1800s. They always seem to contain such a wonderful variety of illustrations and this one was no exception. The boys’ and girls’ library containing a variety of useful and instructive reading, selected from eminent writers for youth contained the artwork of William Monkhouse (1805?-1862) and was published in 1851.
