tomwilberg Posted May 23, 2020 #1 Posted May 23, 2020 Hi, William Mowll in his book about SS Great Britain refers to his books where he gathered his knowledge about steam propelled ships from. There is a photo of some, but not all were mentioned explicitly in the bibliography section. Especially this book on the upper half of the attached image: Does anybody know this book? I would like to know more about the complete title, author, publisher and may be the isbn.... Best regards Thomas mtaylor 1 Quote

bruce d Posted May 26, 2020 #3 Posted May 26, 2020 OK, I will tell you what I thought when I first saw the picture: it looks like one of the publications put out by museums to describe the exhibits. The second booklet in the picture has the same style. So, no, I do not know the book but ... look for museum publications about SS Great Britain to get you started. Have you tried a Google Image Search?

tomwilberg Posted May 26, 2020 Author #4 Posted May 26, 2020 Hi Bruce, that is what I thought: A publication by a museum or collection set up by the curator documenting some exhibits and being distributed in an extreme small number... But anyhow, maybe someone has seen that thing already. I checked with various bookseller portal sites. By the way: All the other stuff from the bibliography of Mowll about the SS Great Britain is already here... Regards Thomas bruce d and mtaylor 2 Quote
