The Book of the Grand Junction Railway

<p><i>Le Livre du Grand Junction Railway</i> par Thomas Roscoe offre un regard fascinant sur l'une des premières grandes lignes de chemin de fer en Grande-Bretagne. Publié en 1839 ce livre capture l'enthousiasme et l'émerveillement de l'époque face à cette prouesse d'ingénierie. Roscoe détaille la construction de la ligne les paysages qu'elle traverse et l'impact économique et social de ce nouveau mode de transport.<br/><br/>À travers des descriptions détaillées et peut-être des illustrations le livre plonge le lecteur dans le monde du voyage en train au début de l'ère victorienne.
