One of the few railway artist actually to be commissioned by the railway companys, and particularly by British Rail when steam was still operational, Terence Cuneo's paintings are renowned throughout the world. As well as illustrating his most famous works, the book includes many new and unseen paintings. Both the paintings and the text, laced with fascinating sketches and anecdotes, reflects this great British artist's genius and real love of railways. Indeed, his enthusiasm has produced paintings of railways as diverse as the small trains of Kashmir and the giants of America and Canada, at the same time remaining true to his first love, the great railways of Britain.
