Original colour-printed folding map of the London Underground (37 x 45.5 cm) designed by MacDonald Gill representing each of the lines with a different colour and including the names of each of the stations, with the British Empire Exhibition Stations (at Wembley) highlighted in red. The underground lines represented here are more flowing than those in Harry Beck's later design for the tube map. In the top right there is a key to indicate which lines the colours relate to. The cover side lists places of interest and includes two additional plans showing theatres and connections with main line termini. Some light toning and minimal nicks to some folds, upper cover with some light spotting and ink marks, generally a very good copy of this scarce Gill map. The revival of the decorative map in the 20th century is often attributed to MacDonald 'Max' Gill, the younger brother of typographer Eric Gill. Although his painted maps would decorate the homes of wealthy landowners, prominent public buildings and Cunard liners, it was Gill's poster maps that brought him fame. In the first half of the 20th century the golden age for poster art his poster maps spearheaded major publicity campaigns for such institutions as the London Underground and the Empire Marketing Board (EMB). However, Gill was also an architect, letterer, mural painter and commercial artist (British Library). *Curiously dated November 1922 despite the British Empire Exhibition not being held until the 23rd of April to the 1st of November 1924-1925. There was however a tour headed by Major Ernest Belcher in 1922 to promote participation in the Exhibition, with Agatha Christie and her husband among the participants. We are aware of a very similar map designed by Gill which is dated 1923; perhaps this is an early promotional proof copy (?) for the forthcoming exhibition. We are unable to locate any other copies dated 1922.

Gill's bus map Chromolithograph map, mounted on linen on original rollers. Gill's rare poster map advertising the bus services from London to the Home Counties. The text around the map reads: "Far flung are our bus routes, they here are displayed. They mean nought to you! We are not dismayed. There are thousands of citizens who love the fresh air. Hundreds not misers will pay debonair. But they must remember to clear their waste paper. Dry bottles and what not at the end of their caper. So there!" Leslie MacDonald Gill (1884- 1947) was a noted graphic designer, cartographer, artist and architect. Born in Brighton, he was the younger brother of Eric Gill, one of the leading figures of the Arts and Crafts movement. In 1914 his "Wonderground Map", commissioned by Frank Pick, and hung at every station, helped to save the London Underground by presenting an accurate map which also had a humorous side in cartoon style. Produced in poster form, it was also made available for sale to members of the public and proved to be very popular. Elder brother Eric, who at that time was engaged in a commission for Westminster Cathedral, was included at the bottom of the map. He also designed of the standard upper case lettering used on headstones and war memorials by the Imperial War Graves Commission. But it is perhaps his illustrated maps for which he is most well known. These maps have featured in a series of exhibitions including Magnificent Maps exhibition in 2010 at the British Library, an exhibition MacDonald Gill, Out of the Shadows in 2011 at the University of Brighton and at the Mind the Map exhibition in 2012 at the London Transport Museum.

No Binding. Zustand: Fine. Gill's humorous map of London and its Underground Stations Chromolithograph plan, minor repairs to corners and old folds strengthened. Gills humorous map of London and its underground stations."During his lifetime MacDonald Gill?Äôs acclaim rested on artistic endeavours of amazing diversity; one area of particular celebrity involved the pictorial maps he designed for both governmental and private organisations. The first of these maps was commissioned in 1913 as a poster for use in the stations of the privately held Underground Electric Railways Company. The enthusiasm of the public for this poster was such that a smaller version, titled the Wonderground Map of London Town, was published for sale the following year. On the occasion of Gill?Äôs death in 1947 the Journal of the Royal Institute of British Architects referred to this Wonderground Map as ?Äúa cartographical masterpiece.?Äù Its groundbreaking design, with emphasis on visual and verbal whimsy and bold primary colors, awakened a generation of cartographers to the imaginative possibilities of pictorial mapmaking." (Elizabeth Burden)The text around the map reads:"The Heart of Britain's Empire Here is Spread Out for Your View. It Shows You Many Stations & Bus Routes Not a Few. You Have Not the Time to Admire it All? Why not Take a Map Home to Pin on Your Wall." 750 by 940mm (29.5 by 37 inches).
