Beneath the Streets of Boston: Building America's First Subway

(2) 4-6 McKendry's sepia-toned paintings resemble the archival photographs on which they're based and convey realistic views of the building of Boston's early subway system. His discussion neatly combines human interest elements with moderately technical explanations of engineering and construction activities. The design includes detailed diagrams, city maps, and reproductions of news stories.
