This item WAS NOT SOLD. Auction date was 2002 Apr 06 @ 03:00UTC-08:00 : PST/AKDT
Metropolitan Railway Plans, Farringdon to Aldgate, undated but circa early 1920's. Maroon leather type cover with gold lettering measures 101/2" x 5" closed. Opens to a magnificent 8 feet in length (retaining the 101/2" depth) and curves to follow the contours of the road. Each segment is linen backed and was obviously a working copy because it has been hand coloured and has many pencil notes. Also well used but how magnificent this is with such intricate street detail. I have never seen a curved map of this nature before and it really is stunning. It is one of three in this auction.
