Vanishing Depot, The Ranulph Bye with Dust Jacket
The Vanishing Depot Ranulph Bye Dust Jacket
Copyright 1973.
Something of importance is fast disappearing from America these days, something we have taken for granted too long and now it is nearly gone: the American Railroad Depot.
Ranulph Bye has captured the flavor of this bit of Americana with his brush. The detail in his paintings reminds one of the labor and pride that went into these buildings, representative of the once proud and bustling railroad industry. Mr. Bye has selected a variety of buildings from a simple shanty at Bloomsburg Pa to the Victorian flamboyance oof the depot at Lebanon PA. He has painted depots from Wilkes Barre Pa to Harpers Feerry WV thgough Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and up through New York and parts of New England. Because theya re all original watercolors, the composition, color and individual attention to each depot is unlike any art ever reproduced of this subject. Mr Byes paintings are not only generous in detail of the buildings, but of their surroundings and that is what makes this book unique.
There are over 60 paintings reproduced in color and 26 reproduced in black and white. Each painting is briefly described, but truly the paintings speak for themselves.
