Tramway
Image
An engraving based on a drawing by Alexander Simplot. The image shows a very detailed aerial view of a hillside with a tramway traversing the side. There are forested areas and pastoral areas. There are town buildings and a few other buildings with people scattered throughout. There is an inset image of an open air shelter (through which the tram runs).
Simplot, A. (Alexander), 1837-1914 (draftsman)
