JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post

As soon as I saw this pamphlet--and its cover--I thought that it was one of those perfect statements for a particular year:

The pamphlet is a program for an international expo in Brussels: Bulletin Officiel de l'Exposition Universelle et Internationale de Bruxelles, and it is very heavily laden with trains and signals and track and such, all the properties of powerful movement and promise, gigantic power in a directed environment. And beautiful.
