Bury (T.T.)
Coloured Views on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway,
£2,500
with plates of the coaches, machines, &c.
London, R. Ackermann, 1833.
Bury was an engraver and lithographer, and may also have played some part in the execution of the plates ‘from drawings made on the spot’. As Ray points out, ‘This classic record of the beginnings of the railway age was also one of the last significant books illustrated with aquatints.’.
