I am really enjoying these graphics! The old pre-World War I timetables really had some intricate illustrations and typography. Thanks for sharing these!

In reply to Jeff. Since they were all published well over a hundred years ago, my assumption is that they are now in the public domain, but I'm not quite a legal expert :D

Those are beautiful. You could definitely sell them! Then again, anybody could definitely sell them, couldn’t they? Does anyone actually “own” that cover art at this point, or is it public domain?

In reply to Joe Chronic. I could always do that... I'll have to figure out the best way to do it, so I'll get back to you. Thanks for the comment!

Woof! I tweeted and posted these on Facebook. Love them! They really bring back the memories, though 1865 was a bit before my time. Great post!

Any thought of making copies for sale to other railfans?

Thanks again for a great blog!
