TRACTION ENGINES PRESERVATION AND POWER - PAUL STRATFORD - HALSGROVE

In this fabulous new collection of images, Paul
Stratford has captured the magnificence of these superb
machines, often in settings that look much the
same as they did fifty or a hundred years ago. He
evokes an atmosphere of a happier time when faith in
British engineering and pride in skilled work well done
were hallmarks of working life, and when the
pounding of these stupendous mechanical beasts was
a regular occurrence in the fields, fairs and highways
of England
