The evolution of the crown is noted in a special inset in the center-left.
The map was designed and distributed as part of a broader 1970s promotional campaign to leverage Britain’s history to appeal to an international audience of tourists. Sponsored by British Airways and printed by W.S. Cowell Ltd.
