Emory Mfg 1895 Springfield MA
Engraving of the P.P. Emory Brass Foundry and offices. Note railroad roundhouse (for repair and storage of railcars and engines) in the background with a passenger train passing in front of it; parked freight cars are closer in the image and on the right background another passenger train is moving on the rails. Still further back, a rail bridge spanning the Connecticut River. The engraving is meant to convey the fact that Springfield was a major hub of railroads and commerce in 1895 as well as show a major local business.
