Bon vivant, railroad historian, photographer, pioneering food critic, chronicler of New York's caf society, and noted newspaperman, Lucius Beebe (1902-1966) was an American original. In 1938, with the publication of High Iron: A Book of Trains, he transformed the world of railroad-subject photography forever by inventing the railroad picture book genre. In 1940, he met creative and life partner Charles Clegg (1916-1979), also a talented photographer. Beebe and Clegg produced an outstanding and diverse portfolio of mid-twentieth century railroad-subject photographs. Beebe, sometimes with Clegg, also authored about forty books, including many focused on railroads and railroading.


The Railroad Photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg brings their incredible story and best photographic work together. Providing an extensive biographic introduction to Beebe and Clegg, author Tony Reevy presents a multi-faceted view of the railroad industry that will appeal to rail enthusiasts as well as those interested in American food culture, the history of New York City, and LGBT studies. The Railroad Photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg is an indispensable history to the work of two men who forever changed the way we see and experience American railroads.

Not quite “Hotel” quality
3.5 stars. My initial impressions are the followng: - Definitely not “Hotel” quality construction. I found these a bit thin and poorly stitched/constructed compared to what one would expect of hotel quality linens . - I doubt these are 500tc. They feel very flimsy, if I had to guess based on weight and feel alone I would assume 300tc at best. - Washing does make them softer as is typical with sateen which I would recommend before use as they feel like Polyester right out of the bag. Wash before use. - Color was interesting, not quite as expected. The grey/blue sheets have a seafoam green tint. Not bothersome enough for me to return. - They feel cool to the touch and should keep one comfortable while sleeping. I will update my review if that is not the case. Overall these are good sheets, but they are definitely not great/hotel quality. I’m keeping the ones I got for my children/guest rooms but will return mine as I really do want a higher quality sheet.

Disappointed. Very thin.
Color: 01 - White, Size: King
These sheets are so thin. I bought the white color and you can see the mattress and the white stripes on the pillows through them. I love my Beckham pillows so I thought the quality would be better. I wasn’t in a rush to use them and unfortunately missed my return window.
