New York Subways & Elevated Lines, 1946

A wonderful map of New York from 1946 showing the subway lines and elevated railways. Designed by Hagstrom Maps, this is possibly my favourite version of the New York subway map ever, especially the little illustrated details like trains and cars in the tubes and tunnels under the Hudson and East River.

Available in three sizes: 13.8″ wide by 23″ high (plus a 0.5″ white border on each side); 25.5″ wide by 42.5″ deep (0.75″ white border); and a truly massive 42″ wide x 69.8″ deep (1″ white border).

Each poster is printed on-demand using fully archival, UltraChrome inks on Moab Lasal Matte, a beautiful, brilliant white, 230gsm (11 mil) alpha cellulose paper which is acid- and lignin-free. Each print is carefully inspected, wrapped in pH-neutral paper, then rolled and placed in a sturdy chipboard tube for shipping.
