Book Description
Bon vivant, railroad historian, photographer, pioneering food critic, chronicler of New York's café society, and noted newspaperman, Lucius Beebe (1902–1966) was an American original. In 1938, with the publication of High Iron: A Book of Trains, he transformed the world of railroad-subject photography forever by inventing the railroad picture book genre. In 1940, he met creative and life partner Charles Clegg (1916–1979), also a talented photographer. Beebe and Clegg produced an outstanding and diverse portfolio of mid-twentieth century railroad-subject photographs. Beebe, sometimes with Clegg, also authored about forty books, including many focused on railroads and railroading. The Railroad Photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg brings their incredible story and best photographic work together. Providing an extensive biographic introduction to Beebe and Clegg, author Tony Reevy presents a multi-faceted view of the railroad industry that will appeal to rail enthusiasts as well as those interested in American food culture, the history of New York City, and LGBT studies. The Railroad Photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg is an indispensable history to the work of two men who forever changed the way we see and experience American railroads.

Book Description
BEEBE & CLEGG takes a new look at the railroad photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. Beebe was known for "wedge of pie" views of trains and black smoke emanating from steam locomotives. But other, amazing, creative views from both of them appear in their archives at the California State Railroad Museum. It is high time to remember again their contributions, the strong foundation they built for railroad photography, and to place that contribution into the context of the achievements made in the field of railroad photography during the eighty years since Beebe entered the field. Today's design and printing techniques provide an opportunity to reevaluate his and Clegg's prolific output and make their work shine as never before.We present here an exploration of these ideas along with their most memorable images which remain unsurpassed in their dedication to elegance and everyday railroading. Join us in honoring and remembering Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg, partners in life and work whose quest to elevate railroading to become an icon of the American experience has largely succeeded.

Steam: an Enduring Legacy
Author: Joel Jensen
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 0393082482
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A stunning collection that brings an earlier era to life. Although steam engines were seldom used for everyday train transportation by 1960, they live on in the minds of those fortunate enough to have experienced them and in the many museums and steam-powered excursions throughout the country. They are especially active in the West, where master photographer Joel Jensen has, for more than twenty-five years, documented these well-restored and maintained veterans in their natural settings doing what they used to—hauling both passengers and freight and delighting rail fans of all ages. This timeless collection takes us back to the end of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, with captivating images evoking the past. Essays by John Gruber, the president of the Center for Railroad Photography, and Scott Lothes, the project director for the center, help to put these wonderful photographs in context.
