Colin Garratt était un photographe ferroviaire dont l'œuvre s'est attachée à capturer le charme et l'histoire du voyage sur rail à travers son objectif. Il publiait fréquemment des albums photographiques où il sélectionnait et légendait le travail d'autres photographes. Son approche de publication, se présentant comme l'auteur principal et apposant son nom sur la reliure, a suscité des discussions sur la paternité et la reconnaissance des artistes originaux. Son héritage réside dans sa vaste documentation visuelle du monde ferroviaire.






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.
