Baghdad City Bus Map

Beschreibung

Colour pictorial map with decorative border 44x34cm, scale approx 1cm to 222 metres, folding into illustrated wraps 11x18cm. Printed by Waterlow & Son. Very good, lightly tanned with short fold tear, and previous owner's name written neatly to the front (Barnes) to front. This is undated, but Worldcat records editions during 1957-65. This appears to be one of the earliest based on coverage being limited to Baghdad City itself, with Adamiya (N), Garage No.3 (SE), Karradat Maryam (S), and Al Washash Village (W), centring approximately on King Faisal Bridge and the British Embassy. The inclusion of the Nairn Transport office also suggests it predates 1959. Other versions seen are less decorative, printed on a larger gridded sheet to include the rapid new urban growth, and include more bus routes. This edition also includes 2 inset topological route maps not present on later versions. The verso features notes explaining how to identify routes and terminal stations; Regulations regarding smoking, lost property and prohibited items; Important places (A-Z); and a list of 26 routes with their variations and distances. Rare.
