Report on Steam Carriages, by a Select Committee of the House of Commons of Great Britain: with the Minutes of Evidence and Appendix. Reprinted by Order of the House of Represntatives.
Washington DC: Duff Green Printer, 1832.
346p, [1p errata]. 25cm. Rebound in green cloth over boards; green morroco spine label in gilt. Ex library from the Joseph G. Pangborn Baltimore & Ohio Collection with his embossed seal on the title page. "The B&O became the first railroad to hire a publicity agent. In 1880, “Major” Joseph G. Pangborn, a western newspaper publicist and showman, was hired to market and create an advertising program for the Railroad. In the course of promotion, Pangborn saved a number of the B&O’s wheezing, ancient, obsolete but historic locomotives for an extensive exhibit planned for the World’s Columbian Exposition to be held in Chicago in 1892-93. In addition, he designed and built a series of full-sized wooden replicas of the world’s pioneering locomotives and mounted an exhibit documenting the continuum of railroad history heretofore unmatched in size, completeness, and significance. For its creative look backward in history, in the midst of a celebration of “modern” technology, the B&O received the highest honors awarded." For the most part foxed, short tear at the top edge gutter of the title page; still an important association and an attractive copy in good condition.
