Brunel – an original printed prospectus for the Exeter Great Western Railway, 4pp folio, sent in the form of a letter to Robert Harvey of Langley Park on December 18th 1845, complete with cancelled penny red stamps and seal. It also contains a hand coloured map detailing the route from London to Exeter. Isambard Kingdom Brunel is listed as the Engineer for the Line. Also listed are the members of the Provisional Committee (which itself has one name removed by pen cancellation), the Bankers (which are also similarly annotated), the Solicitors and the offices for the new company. Original folds and a few small holes slightly affecting a few words and sections of the map, but the document is otherwise in generally good condition. Rare.
