The Reading Station at Pennington

All I can say is exquisite! The mansard roof, the "Hummelstown" type brick and the bench for those who are awaiting the arrival of the train to take them to points north, south, east, or west. The original for this beautiful engraving is from a post card in my collection. I re-arranged a few of the positions on the picture, and enhanced the faded gray original image. This would make a delightful subject for a pen and ink sketch. In fact, I just might embark on that project if I can find the time.
