Vintage: 1935 1st Edition Original & authentic product. Description from AI: "Railway Ribaldry is a humorous illustrated book. Produced by the Great Western Railway for its Centenary Year (1835–1935). It contains 96 pages of railway-themed humour, all illustrated in Heath Robinson’s instantly recognisable style — absurdly complicated machines, comic railway staff, and gently satirical scenes of railway life. It was never a commercial bookshop title in the usual sense; it was produced as a railway promotional publication, which is why collectors like it today. The artwork is classic Heath Robinson: - Exaggerated steam engines - Overworked railwaymen - Ridiculously impractical contraptions - A playful, cartoonish take on Britain’s railways" Railway Ribaldry.
