Description
Geographia Ltd was a prominent British map publisher based in Fleet Street, London, operating from the early 20th century through the mid-1900s. Their road maps were essential navigation tools before the advent of GPS, with this particular North Wales edition featuring a scale of 3 miles to 1 inch and priced at 1/6 (one shilling and sixpence). The cloth-backed folding format was standard for durability during frequent use by motorists and travelers.
Vintage road maps like this appeal to cartography enthusiasts, local historians, and collectors of ephemera who appreciate the evolution of British transportation and tourism. These maps document historical road networks, place names, and regional geography before modern development, making them valuable research tools for genealogists and historians studying mid-20th century Britain. The decorative Art Deco-style cover design also attracts collectors of vintage graphic design and typography.
