Synopsis
The British love of the humble cup of tea has become part of our national heritage, but the great industry surrounding it has roots in more exotic climes. Published in 1937, this decorative map by MacDonald Gill illustrates the significance of Britain's main tea suppliers in the early twentieth century and celebrates a trade that was to prove a vital morale booster for a nation in the grip of world war. (Map measures: 585 x 930mm)
