Underground map poster
Underground map of London
A [1932] full colour poster map with a blue and white border in good clean condition.
Stingemore style lines are shown in different colours. The base map is a full street map of about 7" to one mile. Page 76 of No need to ask! : Early maps of London's Underground railways by David Leboff and Tim Demuth, has a full page illustration of this map (lacking the blue border), with details on the opposite page.
"This poster example is very detailed and is probably equalled only by the A-Z map series in booklet form. The lines are shown finely so as not to disturb the process of searching for a particular street."
Size : 49" wide by 39" high. Folded to 10" by 13". Cloth backed with light marks in the north of the sheet. The overall impression is of a bright clean map with little rubbing on the folds.
Area covered : Willesden Green top left, Drayton Park and Holloway Road top right, Oval lower right, Hammersmith and Walham Green lower left.
Note in top margin : Southgate extension of the Piccadilly Railway from Finsbury Park is now under construction....
(Note : Southgate station opened on 13 March 1933)
