American Railroad China: Image And Experience

American Railroad China: Image And Experience by Charles G. Kratz, Jr.

This book highlights the china that once clattered in the kitchens and dining cars of the great railway system of the United States. Kratz does an exemplary job in his text bringing the history of the hundreds of china pattern designs into the context of the economic, geographic and historical influences of over a century of progress. With an essay contribution by Ricjard W. Luckin and over 100 beautiful color images, this book is one more piece towards preserving this grand era of travel.
