Last Collection of Transportation Prints and Ephemera, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance This collection forms part of the Jay T. Last Collection of Graphic Arts and Social History, which was donated to the Huntington Library by Jay T. Last in 2005 as a gift in progress. The bulk of the transportation prints and ephemera were transferred to the Library between 2010 and 2012. Background The Jay T. Last Collection is an unparalleled archive of printed paper artifacts that documents American lithographic history. The collection began in the early 1970s when physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer Jay Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels he found at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew, Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial printing, graphic design, and social history, and he expanded his collection to include other forms of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 200,000 lithographic prints, posters, and ephemera of mostly 19th and early 20th century American origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic companies. Scope and Content The Jay T. Last Collection of Transportation Prints and Ephemera contains more than 730 printed items that relate to land-based modes of transportation primarily in the United States from the 1820s to the early 1900s. The bulk of the collection dates from 1840 to 1905 and consists largely of advertising and promotional materials, business records, and illustrations produced for or pertaining to the bicycle, carriage and wagon, railroad, and freight and passenger transport industries. Materials are arranged in two series: small-size items (11 x 14 inches or less) and large-size items (more than 11 x 14 inches). Small-size items are described broadly at the series level; large-size items are fully inventoried, and all printers, Jay T. Last Collection of priJLC_TRAN 2 Transportation Prints and Ephemera: Finding Aid artists, and publishers are indexed by name. The collection has 167 large-size items consisting of advertising cards, posters, broadsides, system maps, timetables, views, and other visual materials primarily produced for railroad companies, with additional items concerning vehicle and part manufacturers such as wheel works, carriage builders, bicycle manufacturers, and locomotive machine shops. Small-size items in the collection number more than 570 and are comprised mainly of advertising and promotional ephemera and business documents such as printed booklets, business cards, calendars, catalogs, envelopes, handbills, labels, leaflets, postcards, trade cards, and separated book and periodical illustrations, as well as stationery with printed billheads and letterheads filled out with manuscript or typewritten correspondence. The collection touches on topics of transportation, commerce and manufacturing, technology and engineering, travel and tourism, and geography. The images are primarily promotional in nature and provide information about the history of the American railroad, bicycle, and horse-drawn vehicle industries and the evolution of their advertising strategies in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As graphic materials, the prints offer evidence of the development of printmaking techniques and trends, and of the artists, engravers, lithographers, printers, and publishers involved in the creation of these prints.

  • Canadian Rail No175 1966
    C:an.a march ) ffi.miill 1966 No. 175 the cover T HIS YEAR marks the half-century birthday for Canadian Nat­ ional's valiant and sturdy little Z-l-a class electric loco­ motives. Thei.r entire careers have been spent shuttling back and fOrth through Montreal's Mount Royal Tunnel (at 3.3 miles, second longest in Canada) at the head end of bustling and loaded commuter trains whose vintage passenger cars outwardly belie marks of ancestral private companies. The locomotives and their trains are fighting a losing battle; inevitably, as rush hour follows rush hour, the numbers of those who clamour for the use of this transit umbilical cord increase. Informed observers real­ ize that consists can not be effectively enlarged nor head ways shortened. CN has pointed this out to its patrons, who in turn have tried to spur their politicians on to back a transit plan which would see conventional rapid transit electric trains replace Canada's only main-line electrification. Inevitably too, the polit­ icians have dallied, but will not postpone action much longer for at least one good. simple reason: many of these same function­ aries are among the passengers who, more frequently as time goes on, get left behind on a suburban platform because the "8 :12" just won't take any more passengers. Some day, inexorably, the end will come. Meanwhile, savour the atmosphere of Montreal's wintry, evening suburbia. just cold enough so that the snow squeaks underfoot, captured admirably on film by our own Jimmy Sandilands, as No. 103 pauses at Mount Royal Station to disembark commuters.

  • Railroad Exhibit Catalog Final.Pub
    All Aboard: Railroads and New Jersey, 1812–1930 Exhibition Catalog Curator: David J. Fowler Rutgers University Libraries 2011 2 [Case 1] Introduction “Industry, Improvement and Enterprise” announced the cover of an 1882 publication on the industries of New Jersey. Fittingly, a locomotive is a prominent part of the accompanying illustration. Railroads had a pervasive presence and an immense social, economic, cultural, and technological influence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, perhaps even more so than today. Then as now, most people in New Jersey were within earshot, at least, of the sound of a train. Everyone no doubt has a favorite song or movie in which trains play a role, or an early memory, such as that of a kindergartner in a school play reciting his part: “I am a semaphore ….” Railroads likewise engendered a distinctive nomenclature, some of which have entered popular parlance (“derailed,” “off-track,” “build up a head of steam,” “train of thought,” “train wreck”), and also influenced visual imagery. It is significant that one of the first feature films, The Great Train Robbery (1903), was actually shot in New Jersey. 3 4 As Louis P. Cain has pointed out, “No innovation is more emblematic of the drama of nineteenth- century American economic history than the railroad”; its impact was “transformative.” In New Jersey and elsewhere, the ramifications included not only railroads themselves, but also canals, turnpikes, steamboats, ferries, stage lines, and bridges and tunnels. The maneuverings of the Joint Companies in the political sphere caused one state senator in 1864 to excoriate “this gigantic, corrupt, and inexcusable monopoly ….

  • A Long and Dutiful Life – the Story of B&O
    1 The Life of B&O 316 By Edward F. Bommer Baltimore & Ohio Railroad #316 was one member in a unique group of twenty-seven locomotives built during a period of great corporate need in 1865. It was built at a time of nation-wide shortages of manpower and materials as the Civil War ended. Originally designed as heavy, eight-wheel coupled freight engines to work over the grades west of Cumberland MD, this group was the first sizeable class of locomotives built in the United States to employ the concept of a uniform design with interchangeable parts. Three different builders were used to construct them. The 316 was one of them and it gave 80 years of service to the B&O. Thatcher Perkins, the Civil War years B&O Master of Machinery, laid out drawings for this new class of eight-wheel freight locomotives before he left the company in 1865. His designs used the same 43” diameter drivers fitted with wrought iron tires and having a 22” stroke that were also employed on older Winans camels and Company engines. With the departure of Thatcher Perkins from the B&O, John C. Davis was recruited from the Northern Central Railroad in Pennsylvania to take over as Master of Machinery. He quickly put three locomotives of Perkins’ design into production at the Mount Clare shop. In June 1865 number 47 was first engine to roll out. It was followed in July by numbers 83 and 242. While still under construction, the 83 was renumbered 32 after the original 83 that had been taken south was located.
