Note:
Cover is an illustrated envelope. Gill's map of the London underground railways is an important early example of 20th century pictorial maps. It influenced other cartographers and initiated a colorful period of pictorial mapmaking internationally. This is third and final state of this map, with the greyhound in the upper letter corner triangle above the "On to Wembley" sign (first state 1914, with only houses in the triangle, second state 1924, with the "On to Wembley" sign and lion instead of a greyhound).
