New York City Subway Map. Effective May 24, 1987

Beschreibung:

Map. Color lithograph. Sheet measures 22" x 26 1/2" Classic double-sided New York City subway map from the late 1980s. A map of the subway system in its entirety is on the recto, and isolated graphics of each line and their respective stops are on the verso. Insets include a key on how to read the map, train schedules and places to visit. Notably, changes to the R and N lines are included, as well as some since discontinued routes, including the express R train on the brown line dubbed the "R Nassau bullet." In the 1970s, the firm Michael Hertz Associates was hired to redesign Massimo Vignelli's iconic subway map. In contrast to Vignelli's modernist design, Hertz included train lines with more organic shapes and more realistic details of what lies above ground, including streets, waterways and parks. This map is a wonderful example of both designs, with Hertz's map on the recto and Vignelli's stylized train routes on the verso. In excellent condition, original fold lines as issued.
