Car Passing sign post - Ellis Martin


An amazingly detailed cover by Ellis Martin. This is on a 1/2 inch to the mile map. There was a later version in green. and the sky is not really that green/red colour. That is just the way the scan has come out. The extract below is more realistic.

car detail This is 1913 map. No motorways. No traffic jams. No road numbers either. The car is expensive. You would have to have been wealthy to run one of these. Finding your way around would have been very difficult so a map would have been essential and combined with road signs you would have move from town to town - hopefully without getting lost. Anyway leave it to the chauffeur.
