    A charming pair of works aiming to assist in the navigation of London, and the surrounding 'Country' areas.

    Volume 1 is a double-sided folding map and timetable of trams and tramways. Published by L. C. C. Tramways, this document offers a glimpse into the bustling system of trams, as the operated were in November 1932, under the jurisdiction of London County Council, which was the case from 1899, until 1933. 

    Volume 1 features a colour illustration to the first page, and an orange and peach vibrantly coloured map to the reverse of the timetable.

    Volume 2 features a monochrome frontispiece, and is filled with vignette illustrations - both maps and photographs, depict a variety of destinations.
