London. Gill (Macdonald), The Wonderground Map of London Town, published The Westminster press, circa 1928, colour photolithographic map, old folds, 745 x 930 mm This is the slightly smaller and later edition of Gill's original 1913 map.There is a subsequent 1924 edition which was altered to help the promotion of the 1924 British Empire Exhibition that was held at Wembley between April and October of that year. It can be identified by a sign saying:- 'On To Wembley' and an empire lion in the top left hand corner below the man pushing a bus. This example is a slightly later state with a greyhound replacing the lion. Greyhound racing started at Wembley in 1927 so this edition probably dates from 1927 or 1928. The map remains highly stylised and whimsical and was held in great affection by Londoners. It was originally commissioned by The London Underground and was designed to be displayed in tube stations. The intense pictorial content of the map caught the public's imagination and as a result Gill is often credited with creating a resurgence in the genre of decorative map making. Much work and research has been done by Roderick Barron and Bryars & Bryars on the maps of the Underground and the work of Macdonald Gill and I am also grateful to Claire Dobbins book, London Underground Maps: Art, Design and Cartography.

Satirical map. European Revue. Kill that Eagle, published Geographia Ltd, London, 1915, colour lithographic map of Europe after J. H. Amschewitz, old folds, a few folds strengthened on verso, 515 x 655 mm An unusual German counter version of British artist J. H. Amschewitz's original December 1914 satirical map of the Euopean war. Both Johnson Riddle's November 1914 map 'Hark! Hark! The Dogs do Bark!' and Amschewitz's 'European Revue...,' published just a few weeks later, elicited a curious propoganda counter blast from the Hamburg publisher Walter Nölting in 1915. He re-produced both maps for the German domestic market. Nolting claimed that the Amschewitz map was clear documentary evidence of Albion's perfidy. His claim was based on Winston Churchill's statement that despite the war Great Britain would continue with 'business as usual' (the legend is written large across the body of England). Nolting chose to misinterpret the statement for propoganda purposes that this latest war is for Britain just 'business as usual' given her historic record and regular propensity for war-mongering. The map reproduces the English text with a few words and phrases transposed into German for better understanding. The last line of German text below the image translates as 'Reproduced by a German printer without kind permission from our English cousin as an eternal memorial'. (1)
