Synopsis
R. C. ('Dick') Riley (1921-2006) was one of the country's foremost railway photographers; starting with mono just prior to World War 2, he moved over to colour in the early 1950s, when such film was both expensive and slow. Working in the banking industry gave him the opportunity to travel widely and, aided by his trackside pass and contacts within the railway industry, he was able to access locations and views from which many other photographers were excluded. From his early work through to the end of main line steam in 1968 he took countless thousands of transparencies; over the years a number have been published but there remain a significant number that have yet to see the light of day. This large landscape format book showcases over 200 colour images taken by Dick Riley between the early 1950s and 1968. Whilst the bias will be towards the Southern and Western regions, the book will also include a significant number of illustrations on both the Eastern and London Midland regions. Dick Riley was also a prolific photographer of industrial railways, and the book will include a brief selection featuring these sites, as well as recording aspects such as signs and minutiae, which were largely ignored by other photographers. The book will also include vignettes of these photographs. The text has been compiled by his close friend and executor Rodney Lissenden, who had access to Dick Riley's personal diaries for anecdotal tales relating to the images concerned.

- r***3 (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis is my first time purchasing from eBay, but it won’t be my last. The process was flawless and I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. Communication was provided at each step up until delivery. My 4 framed prints were wrapped very well and arrived in perfect shape. The description provided by the seller was spot on, including an honest description about a couple of minor “wear and tears” on the frames. Highly recommend the seller. Thank you.
- r***l (69)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI thought the price for shipping was a bit much for something that is plastic and the giant box was a bit much as well. However, it was quite secure and I love the product. Good seller
