TLF: “[Locomotives] as a theme for pictures ... the interest came to me suddenly, although I cannot pin it down exactly in time. I spent some time making preparatory studies of railroad material, before attempting a composition. My source was, chiefly, one of my father’s treasures...: “The Development of the Railroad Locomotive” by Angus Sinclair (New York 1907)." [305]
