The locomotive and the tender have something special. I don't know why, but they was also on the corverage of school notebook. This one was used by an adult for accounting in 1898.

Okay, now that is something I was unaware of, that these were also used for more mundane purposes, like notebooks.

On EBay in the US, there is a huge collection of original Epinal, for auctions that start at very high prices. The accompanying scans are of reasonable quality. This is apparently a collection of mint prints, never sold, that are part of a large estate sale.

I have been drooling over those high-priced Epinal models on eBay for a long time. Just cannot justify the prices. I suspect that Castles in the Air may have acquired some that they use to produce their reproductions.

I've spoken to the owner of Castle in the Air, Karima, a number of times when I get back to Berkeley. Believe it or not, she was given all the originals she now sells reproductions of! She even sells the originals from time to time.
The reproductions are very well done and very reasonably priced. The originals are somewhat expensive, but she does have some that I've never seen on ebay or anywhere else, so... |

I'e always liked the epinal models and have made several. On this weeks vacation I was able to build two of the lighthouses (and make an neat base in the woodshop at camp.)
