*London. Gill (Macdonald), The Wonderground Map of London, pub. The Westminster Press [1924], colour printed map, 745 x 930mm, framed and glazed. This is an example of the slightly smaller edition of GillÕs 1913 map which is assumed to have been published to help the promotion of the 1924 British Empire Exhibition that was held at Wembley between April and October of that year. If you look closely in the top left hand corner you can see a sign saying:- ÔOn To WembleyÕ and an art deco lion. Neither of which appear on the 1913 edition. The map would have been well known and much loved by Londoners and to re-use it to help advertise and promote the exhibition was probably a sound piece of advertising and publicity. The map remains highly stylised and whimsical, and 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 publicÕs imagination and as a result Gill is often credited with creating a resurgence of the genre of decorative map making. Elizabeth Burdon.

LafreriÕs name is synonymous with the publication of the magnificent composite atlases produced in the important trading centres of Rome and Venice. Comprising of maps by various cartographers they epitomise the Italian domination of the world of cartography before the emergence of OrteliusÕs Theatrum Orbis Terrarum which was published in Antwerp in 1570 and which marked the beginning of Dutch cartographic supremacy.
