Product Description
Product Description
In the winter of 1970, Dave Bohn found the surviving negatives of Darius and Tabitha Kinsey. Bohn and his colleague, Rodolfo Petschek, initiated a long-term effort to reproduce in book form the magnificent Kinsey archive. Here youll find Darius and Tabitha Kinseys lifework on display in this volume featuring 53 superb photographs of the logging industrys steam locomotives, historical essays by John Labbe on each locomotive and the logging operations it served, and excerpts from conversations with some of the oldtime engineers, firemen, and brakemen.
Ingram
A superb collection of photographs from the archives of one of the most remarkable partnerships in the history of photography. Here are stunning portraits of the team locomotives used by the logging industry in northwest Washington during the first half of the 20th century, beautifully reproduced in duo-tone, on high-quality matte paper. Entertaining text recounts the history of each locomotive and the logging operation that used it. 53 photos.

Quality throughout,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kinsey Photographer: The Locomotive Portraits (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully produced work of a master photographer. The large format duotone prints are a joy to look at, with crisp detail and lovely tones. The book provides excellent examples of Darius' ability to capture the majestic beauty of hard working (but well cared for) steam locomotives (both geared and rod), along with the people whose lives they touched (engine crew, loggers, camp crew and families). I would have paid $20 each for several of the prints in this book. This is primarily a "picture book", but the additional commentary from railroaders and loggers of the Kinsey era adds that personal touch that the photographs so often contain.

This review is from: Kinsey Photographer: The Locomotive Portraits (Hardcover)
This book is a source of absolutely excellent photos of Shays, Heislers, and Climaxes used in the logging industry in the Pacific Northwest. With his huge box cameras and glass image plates, Kinsey was to B&W photography of the period as IMAX is to color motion pictures of today. The photos are the best B&W photographs I have ever seen on any subject. They are definitely of museum quality.Geared Steam Locomotive Works

This review is from: Kinsey Photographer: The Locomotive Portraits (Hardcover)
I have well over 80 Railroad history books, and I would rate this one amoung my top five, the quality of the photos is beyond what you would expect for the time period, and I love reading the quotes from the old "hogers", fireman, and others about their experiences, I paid $30 for it and it was well worth the price.
