Attached is my re-draw of the Southern Electric Map, dated 1934, showing the electrified services (using 3rd rail top-contact 750v DC) serving South London. These were displayed in frames inside carriages, normally printed on heavy-grade card.

The temptation to correct some of the ‘issues🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 of the original (the station names appearing over lines, odd spacing of lettering that doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t appear to be consistent and some rather interesting angles for the station names) was real, but I went with originality…

I believe this was one of the last designs to show the geographical nature of the network, before the tube-inspired topological maps took hold.

Was a real lab🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of love to redraw – but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lovely piece to have on display.

I managed to track down an image of the original map that Paul has so lovingly recreated and it looks like he🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s done a really fantastic job of it. Perhaps the background is a little overly dark and the blue a little too aqua – but if Paul🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s aiming for an aged, yellowed paper look then it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s actually quite effective.

I definitely agree with Paul🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s view on alterations to these old maps 🔸澳洲开奖 digitally recreating them. Generally, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll only ever fix egregious spelling mistakes and leave the rest pretty much as it was on the original. I find that you can actually learn quite a bit about design trends and typography of different eras if you do – compare the relatively loose letter spacing of the 1950s to the extremely tight letter spacing of the 1970s, for example.

Well done, Paul – this looks great and you should be proud of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划efforts to recreate it so faithfully.
