Lot 202

London. Lee (Kerry), London. The Bastion of Liberty, circa 1951, chromolithographic pictorial map of London, very slight marginal finger soiling, 540 x 665 mm A charming portrait of the artist Kerry Lee (1902 - 1988) can be seen in the lower right corner, his name signed on an easel with his faithful dog Jim sitting by his side. Kerry Lee produced two colour pictorial maps for British Railways in the 1930s which were revised up until the 1950s. These railway posters are very much in the style of Macdonald Gill. (1)

Lot 203

London. Gill (Macdonald), Wonderground Map, The London Town, [1924], chromolithographic pictorial map, old folds, 740 x 930 mm, supplied with original colour printed envelope, envelope with some spotting A slightly smaller edition of Gill's 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:- 'On To Wembley' 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 public's imagination and as a result Gill is often credited with creating a resurgence of the genre of decorative map making. (1)

World. Gill (Macdonald), La Carta del Atlantico, published George Philip & Son Ltd in collaboration with the Time and Tide Publishing Company Ltd, circa 1943, decorative colour lithographic map of the world on a Mercator projection with Spanish text, old folds, small tape repairs to verso to strengthen where the folds cross, slight creasing, 820 x 1100 mm A scarce Spanish edition of Gill's 'Time and Tide' map. Commissioned by Time and Tide magazine, it never enjoyed a large circulation and is therefore one of the scarcest of Gill's pictorial maps. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference. The Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but invincible. In time the charter would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. Gill takes an optimistic view of the Charter and of the future. He shows a muscled worker taking a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground, while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. A nod to the book of Isiah and the turning of 'swords to ploughshares'. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero, Emerson, Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace. Gill is probably best known for his 1913 'Wonderground map of London' and this map is still very much in the decorative and pictorial style that Gill became famous for. I am grateful to the research and blogs conducted and written by Rod Barron and Bryars & Bryars. (1)
