ENGRAVING, Rogers Locomotive Works, Patterson,
New Jersey. Issued in 1882 to celebrate the
50th anniversary of the company in business.
Print has following scenes:
Rogers Locomotive & Machine Works - 1832
Portrait, JW Rogers
Portrait, Thomas Rogers
Portrait, WJ Hudson
Rogers Locomotive Works - 1882
Print measures 38" long, 11" tall. There
is some spotting due to age on the prints.
The print has been professionally cleaned,
mounted with acid free matting, and UV
blocking glass. I suspect this print might
have come from the Rogers works itself, probably
from an office. An unusual piece of history.
