About This Item
London, Geographia Ltd, 1919. Lithographed folding map, 76 x 101 cm, printed in blue and red, inset map of Theatre Land bottom right, minor wear, blank verso; folding into blue printed paper wrappers, somewhat worn and dusty, old ownership signature. The Daily Telegraph was one of a number of newspapers to sponsor Underground maps: a series issued by the Evening News, published in various editions c. 1907-1910, predated the earliest official UERL common design maps, and may even have spurred the UERL into action. The Telegraph map is uncommon, and this may be due to the success of the official maps by this time, as by 1919 they were widely available at stations and in guidebooks, and they were free.
