SH1995.13.5:-
|
Railway map, Underground Railway Map, published by London Transport, 55
Broadway, Victoria, London, 1937.
|
|
The map of the system is presented as a map not as the 'Beck' diagram that is
familiar today, and has been used continuously since 1933.
|
|
There are three maps - the whole system, larger scale for the central area, and
a map of theatres; the maps are probably made by Geographia; printed by the
Baynard Press.
|
|
Although presented as 'No.1' this is NOT the first map of the whole underground
system.
