Item Details
Description
first edition, unused, a geographical map with the underground lines accurately overlaid for the Greater London area, from Cockfosters to Morden, and from Hounslow West to Barking, lithographed map printed in colours, 610 x 755mm., old folds, a short split in the left border, otherwise in very good condition, printed by Waterlow & Sons, [1932]. Although Harry Beck's first truly diagrammatic, plan appeared the following year, 1933, eventually, though not immediately, supplanting the more geographically accurate concept, as exemplified here, Fred Stingemore had, himself, already experimented with a more schematic concept, in 1926, that spaced the stations more evenly apart, thereby making the plan much easier to read.
