Train - Cow catching technology 1869 Tissue Paper

Colourized photo from 1869 Original title: Rawlings Springs Photographer: Andrew Russell Location: Sedgwick, Rawling Springs, WY Look at all the interesting improvements in cow catching technology. Cowcatchers are triangular devices mounted to the front of a locomotive (even modern ones), that is used to help escort a lazy bovine out of the way. Struck by a train, the cow becomes steak and the train may derail, I would imagine. The first cowcatcher was invented by Charles Babbage in 1838. No one mentioned what inspired him to make such a thing, but I would love to see his prototypes and testing methods. The design basically lifts a cow off the tracks and place him on the side, but I'm sure it left a bruise of some kind. These models are a bit more unusual as they covered the open areas with wood. I can only imagine that animals got their leg caught in it and this would maybe stop that? Or maybe it cleared small rocks off the tracks, it would explain that patch the centre one has. We may never know.

Unused bedroom fireplace inspired by Leonardo David is red chalk drawings. Absolutely so proud and the overall result total success Magical at night so warm and comforting. Slight differences in depth of colour between sheets but perfectly acceptable as it is bespoke printing.Thrilled.

Tissue paper is fantastic for creative projects such as collage, decoupage and mixed media. The designs are appealing. The colour and quality of paper are acceptable.
