A propos de cet article

1931 MAP OF LONDONS UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.A rare early original vintage Chromolithographed map, laid down on, and folding into, printed oN greenlinen covers. Early map of the London Underground, signed FHS lower left, Fred Stingemore (1890-1954) was a lifelong employee of the Underground Electric Railways Company, UERL, (1902-1932), and then the London Passenger Transport Board (from 1933). He worked first as a draughtsman in the Publicity Managers Office, which issued this map, and then as head of the Commercial Drawing Office. Stingemore's first map of the Underground was issued in 1925 and then reissued with revisions several times until it was superseded by Harry Becks design in 1933. Although the first journey made on the London Underground occurred in 1863, it was not until 1908 that the various routes and lines were brought together as a single system. The first tube map consisted of a map of London with the underground lines traced over the top in colour. As a result, the central stations were crammed closely together, with little room for their names, and many of the peripheral destinations omitted to avoid large swathes of wasted space. Although geographically accurate, this first map did not make for easy navigation of the London Underground. Consequently, in 1926 a new and much clearer map was produced by Stingemore, with regular spaces between the stations and legible names. Even this map, however, could not solve the problem of how to include all of Londons suburbs in a single image. Put off by the maps geographical inaccuracy, official operators continued to publish the former map and only issued Stingemore's version as a pocket-sized diagram.Condition is good for its age. There are a couple of manuscript endorsements by a previous owner, on the map side.Size approx 16.5 x 14.5cm.…
