A November 2019 web article by Brian Lemin, written for the East Devon and Downton lace bobbin project, on steam-engine imagery found on decorated Honiton lace bobbins. He discusses one bobbin that may show an agricultural traction engine or steam van, with the initials VAN and the date 1870. He then reconstructs a railway scene by joining three photographs of a carved bobbin in Photoshop, showing an engine, coal tender, wagon, sleepers and smoke, and compares it with a Great Western Railway locomotive photograph of about 1874.
