    1933: International Railway Congress, the unique Essays drawn by A. Hewitt, chief Cartographer to the Egypt Survey Dept., with 16 pencil sketches on card perforated to stamp size (it appears that Mr. Hewitt was envisaging a se-tenant block of four in one sketch), with near completed designs (3) in ink one of which is signed. The three ink Essays, on tracing paper, all show the adopted inscription 'Congres De Chemin De Fer 1933', with perhaps the most famous Essay being the frontal depiction of the Locomotive for the 5 m. in black ink with imprint at base. Some illustrated in Smith on page 325. A wonderful and unique group on two album pages Nile Post E364 = $ 1'000.
