A single locomotive, rendered in lithograph to a design by A.J. Johnson, is the subject here, printed in Cleveland around 1874 by W.J. Morgan & Co. By that decade Cleveland was a busy rail and manufacturing city, and local firms produced a number of engine views for builders, railroads and their customers. Prints like this showed the machine in clean, detailed profile, so they remain a useful record of how locomotive design was presented to the public in the 1870s.
