Chicago: Cameron Amberg & Co. Printers; and Shober & Carqueville Lithographers 1860. Trade card 13 x 7.5 cm. printed both sides the verso in chromolithography depicting the interior of a dining car with tables set in anticipation of the passengers' meals. Text on the recto reads "These Dining and Restaurant Cars run on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad between Chicago and Omaha are in all respects the most luxurious traveling conveniences on the American continent. A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged. Passengers will bear in mind that these are not the commonly-called Hotel Cars with their attendant high prices and bed-room odors. Our Dining Cars are used for no other purpose. All meals on Overland Trains are served in them. A. Smith Sup't Dining Car Line." The company became the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in 1866 the company changed names frequently. In the mid-1870s the company established its Chicago-Omaha route. As such this card likely dates between the mid-1860s and mid-1870s. The railroad became known for introducing the first "elegant" dining cars to passenger trains and the lithograph on this trade card by Shober & Carqueville Lithographers of Chicago exudes elegance indeed. No tears folds or bends; slight glue residue on back. Cameron, Amberg & Co., Printers; [and] Shober & Carqueville Lithographers unknown books

The Boy's Own Paper. 1900. Chromolithograph 10 3/4 x 28 inches four folds as issued very good condition: short repaired splits at two folds. A striking circa 1900 chromolithograph of "Main Line Express Engines." Vibrant colors; print in excellent condition. Descriptive text accompanies the print. An entry by the British Science Museum on their web site ingenious.org states: "Colour photographs did not become widely available until the invention of the Kodachrome process in the 1930s. For many years enthusiasts had to be content with monochrome images that depicted splendid railway liveries in dull shades of grey. To meet a growing market for colour railway images an artist called Thomas Rudd created hand-tinted oil paintings based on partially exposed photograph prints. Calling himself ‘F Moore’ he accurately reproduced the colours of the original vehicles while carefully removing any unwanted features such as telegraph poles or people. Over the course of thirty-six years between 1897 and 1933 Rudd and his colleagues completed over 600 paintings under the name of F Moore many of them appearing as postcards or in publications like The Locomotive Magazine and The Boy’s Own Paper." This circa 1900 chromolithograph is a striking example of Rudd's craftmanship. see ingenious.org.uk Use search term: Thomas Rudd . The Boy's Own Paper. unknown
