The handy District Railway map of London seems to have appeared under several imprints between the 1870s and the early 20th century. This copy issued by the agents for billboard advertising on the London, Chatham and Dover lines. Other copies of the same map at the same time bear the imprint of Samson Low. Fine map of London showing mass transit lines. Inset of the Putney Bridge & Wimbledon section.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico.
