Escher Wyss & Co. Illustrated Catalogue A translated extract of the 1912 edition Publisher © Brian Hillsdon & Richard White, 1982 8¼" x 11½", soft cover, 20 pages, numerous B&W line drawings and photographs. |
| Editor's Foreword In 1912 the Swiss based company Escher Wyss produced a catalogue of their range of small craft, in particular steam and naphtha engined boats. This publication is an English translation of the steam section of that catalogue with reproductions of the original illustrations, plus some material on the naphtha launches. To this has been added a reference list of vessels of all types and their machinery built by Escher Wyss between 1837 and 1913, in which a number of surviving vessels can be identified. The Editors would like to thank Escher Wyss & Co., of Zurich for the loan of the rare original catalogue and Mr. R. Stahel, Sandy Smyth and Sarah Attwood for assistance in producing this publication. |
