Description
This map of London’s Underground system was created by Geographia, Ltd. and published by the Baynard Press in 1937. The unique style is a contemporary competitor to the maps designed by Harry Beck, which were more stylized and legible.
One can see why Beck’s design would ultimately be adopted on a much wider scale – though the lines stay true to form, the resulting image is crammed with station names and somewhat difficult to read. The verso presents a similarly styled maps of the city center and Theater District.
