Interestingly, an ad for a baker on the pamphlet definitively dates this map to 1957, but trams along Cavendish Road (to the south east of the map, and where my mother lived at the time) ceased operation in 1955 and were replaced by trolley buses. Perhaps the map just makes no distinction between the two, although copy on the reverse side still asks riders to “take the Cavendish Road tram”.

I absolutely love this almost abstract representation of the Gotthardbahn from a Swiss advertising brochure from 1957. Just major cities, the distinctive loops and spirals of the line (described in detail in this post from 2014) and the famous 15-kilometre-long Gotthard Tunnel shown illustratively cutting through a massive mountain.

Here’s one for @airlinemaps: a wonderful infographic/diagram mashup from the 1950s that packs in heaps of information, right down to the type of airplane used on each route (denoted by the col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of each line). Flight numbers, time of departure/arrival, days of service, through routing of flights… it’s all incorporated into the one graphic. And it’s trilingual as well!

Compare with this very similar diagram of Polish Airlines LOT routes from 1939 (June 2015, 5 stars).

Awesome old publicity photos that seem to feature a helpful TTC guide explaining the system map to Betty Draper. Also, the illustrations around the map itself are kind of incredible. The newfangled subway has only been open for three years at this point in time.

Compare to this similarly amazing TTC photo from 1966.
