I needed old underground maps for a geography project about the distortion of reality for a specific purpose (in this case, distorting reality to make the tube maps easier to read, at the expense of location and direction). This site gave me everything I needed, so thank you very much!

Clive -I've just opened a pre WW1 Baedeker's London & Environs Book and an Underground Map has dropped out.It's about 10.5ins by 8 ins.Has a Map on one side and is folded into 8 with the reverse printed. One of the eight folded sections on the reverse reads - 'Underground' Map of London-What to See and How to see it, etc'-The whole map side looks much like your 1911 version with predominently green ink, apart from the tube lines and station names, printed on beige paper; at the bottom left it says 'Geo Philip & Sons' (the printers?)and bottom right says 'The London Geographical Institute'(map surveyors?),the word Underground is printed in the same style as your 1911 Map but is printed vertically with the letters appearing in a column rather than horizontally. The remaining seven sections on the reverse are filled with various things, a brief description of the Underground, a Theatre Plan, Time Tables of the Underground Railways,How to reach the London Termini etc. etc. Condition wise it's pretty near brand new. Can you help? You're the expert, what I'd love to know is. When was it printed? No sign of a date anywhere! Please help!!

Clive, I was directed to your site for the section on Underground maps, which is excellent (if you like that sort of thing!). I was interested in the photos of R101. You probably already know this, but the author Nevil Shute was a key player in the building of R100, which was designed and build in competition with R101. His book "Slide Rule" has a lot of information about the two airships and a few photos. If you haven't already seen it, I'm sure that you would be interested. Kind regards, Brian
