The authoritative French-language encyclopaedic reference on railway technology and history by Auguste Perdonnet, professor at the École centrale des Arts et Manufactures and one of the most distinguished railway engineers of mid-nineteenth-century France. The work includes biographies of Cugnot, Séguin, and George Stephenson; the biography of Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, inventor of the first steam-propelled road vehicle (1769), gives the volume particular relevance to the history of motorised transport. Published by Lacroix et Baudry, Paris; rebound in dark navy blue cloth. A handwritten ink inscription in 19th-century cursive appears on the verso of the title leaf.
