This is a Map of the Underground Railways of London issued by the London Underground Railways in 1923 by Macdonald Gill. He created many maps for London Transport in his characteristically calligraphic style. It is very different to the famous, and more linear and diagrammatical, map created by Beck only a few years later. On the back of the map information is given about places of interest and the times and tickets of trains.
