This is an interesting example of the London underground map produced under difficult wartime conditions.
A number of variants of this map were issued 1913-1915. Our example has the subtitle on the cover ‘all about the system & its facilities’. First World War issues seem relatively scarce in acceptable condition, partly due to the poor quality of the paper used. Economies were also made in the use of colour, differentiating only between the lines of the UERL and the Metropolitan Railway.
