An interesting collection of artwork by a 17 year old artist. The subject of Johnson’s work is
predominantly the Pullman Porter and Pullman cars, with images of the various Pullman jobs.
Included are two watercolors, one of them of George Washington Carver. Mr. Johnson’s work
is charming. Several are drawings of railroad cars and engines with very detailed specifications
of weight etc.
