Imperial Airways – Empire and Europe MAP of the World circa 1937 measures 36″ wide x 24″ high (915mm wide x 610mm high) Professional print reproduced on enhanced heavy gauge 48 lb. (180g/m2) paper stock. Print has a narrow (approximate 1/4″) white border. This extraordinary world map by noted Bauhaus designer and artist, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, draws on the pioneering information design work of Harry Beck and his London subway maps, here used to show the routes of Imperial Airways and associated airlines. What is special about the map is the combining of the more standard world map with air routes shown, with the abstract version in Beck’s style of the entire route system, in an overlaid diagram floating above the Americas and the southern Pacific ocean. To further complicate the design, Moholy-Nagy uses Stanford maps with their more standard map conventions to delineate the countries that made up the British empire in 1937. The remainder of the world is left abstract. This is a very unusual map and very rare. Clearly shows the British Empire and air routes. Inset shows frequency of service and miles from London for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia/New Zealand.
