Note:
This the first edition of the first year of issue of Beck's famous map of the London Underground railways, the first such map to use an entirely schematic and largely non geographical design for the railway system. This map is considered to be a landmark of twentieth century information design. See our 8727.000 for the second edition later in 1933.
