About the book:
One doesn't need to understand the masterful photographic techniques to appreciate this bit of nostalgia set in the early 1900s. Grandfather, a trolley motorman, always saves a seat in the last row for his granddaughter, who then rides to the end of the line. On the return trip, she sits up front next to him. That's the story line but, combined with the artwork, there is much, much more. Clearly evident are the love between the girl and the elderly man; the sights, sounds, and motion of the trolley; the summer breeze that blows the little girl's hair and makes her eyes squint; and the sheer delight of the day. McMillan took the photographs in black and white, brown-toned them, and hand tinted them with oil paints, replicating photographic methods used during the heyday of trolleys. As always, his work is superbly executed. For anyone who has ever ridden a trolley as a child, this is irresistible. For those too young to have had the pleasure, it is evocative of life at a slower pace.
