INDIVIDUAL PHOTOGRAPHERS. Unlike previous volumes among Norton's celebrated publications on railway photography, Steam Odyssey has an international bent: Victor Hand has taken photographs in more than fifty countries over the past fifty-five years. These photographs present his best work from around the world and show what a compelling subject the railway is. An introduction by well-known transport reporter and columnist Don Phillips explains how Hand became interested in railways and how his approach to the subject developed; extended captions provide historical context. The book includes an afterword by rail and photography historian Jeff Brouws.
