Macdonald Gill’s rare poster of the bus routes in the county of Surrey
You've Only Got to Choose Your Bus.
London,
Electric Railway House, Broadway, Westminster, Waterlow & Sons,
[1920].
Chromolithograph map, dissected and mounted on linen.
1010 by 1260mm (39.75 by 49.5 inches).

notes:
Large comic pictorial map illustrating the bus routes in the area between Epsom and Horley, north to south, and Godstone to Effingham, east to west.

This bus map utilises a similar palette of bold colour of green, red, and yello...
