Product description
Large original City Council of Johannesburg road map (single sheet) dated March 1951 — clearly printed title block, City Engineer signature (H. Schrader) and scale 1:20,000 visible in the images. This large-format town plan is intact as one continuous sheet and retains crisp printed cartography and labels despite age. Photographs show the map laid flat with a tape measure for scale and close-ups of the title block and signature.
A striking piece for collectors, local historians, map framers or interior displays: use it as wall art, research reference for Johannesburg history, or a focal piece in an office or archive. It will suit anyone restoring period interiors, assembling a civic ephemera collection, or mounting for display in a study. The size and printed detail make it useful for display rather than daily handling unless conserved.
