Greetings,

I found your names while trying to research the PLEASURE RAILWAY AT 
HOBOKEN Print.  I am a member of the National Association of Watch and 
Clock Collectors.  A "facsimile" of the image is on a hand painted dial 
from a Connecticut Clock.  I am trying to find out two things.

1) When was the print done.  You have dated this 1833.  Might I ask how 
someone dated the print? We do know who published the print (Kellogg) 
but not when.  That information came from the Connecticut Historical 
Society.

2) Was the "railroad" Manumotive or Mechanical motive?

I have attached some links as well for you to see.

First image is the print. It was taken with the Glass on and is stained 
but is not as bad as it appears.

Second image is what appears to be a Manumotive vehicle.

The article about the Clock in the NAWCC Bulletin.

Any help or direction to help solve the mysteries will be appreciated.

Kind regards,
