Original vintage postcard featuring South Eastern & Chatham Railway (SE&CR) locomotive No. 516 in an attractive colour illustration. The locomotive is shown in side profile at speed, making this a striking example of early railway artwork.

Published as Commercial Series No. 312 by J.W.B., London E., and printed in England. An excellent addition to collections of SE&CR memorabilia, pre-grouping railway companies, steam locomotives, and railwayana.

The postcard remains unused/unposted.
