Designed by WE Soar. Printed by WJ Adams & Sons. Published by the Partington Advertising Company for the Metropolitan District Railway Company. Measures 107cm x 65cm. Laid on linen as issued with thin linen covers. Condition: very good, the covers are quite worn and dog eared but the map itself is excellent.
Following the opening of the Metropolitan railway in 1863, The District Railway (DR) was the 2nd Underground railway to open in London in 1868, running from South Kensington to Westminster.
The District Railway Company produced large scale maps laid on Linen between 1874 -1907, along with smaller paper pocket maps from 1877 - making these among the first maps of the London Underground.
This is the Jubilee Edition and therefore dates 1887, the year of Queen Victoria's 50th year on the thrown. The cover features rich illustrations representing other countries in the British empire and the MDR motto "time is money" written around the arch of a cut and cover railway.
