This page pairs three original photoprints of Pennsylvania Central Railroad views with an advertisement for the Moorhead Clay Works of Philadelphia. It appeared around 1871 in William G. Perry's *Illustrated Guide to the Leading Wholesale and Retail Business Houses of Philadelphia*, on page 94. Photographs were still a fairly new form of printed illustration then, so mounted views like these show how railroads and manufacturers presented themselves to buyers. The pairing of rail scenes with a clay company also reflects how closely Philadelphia's industry depended on its transport networks.
