A monograph and comprehensive survey of the work of Hans Schleger (1898- 1976) including his drawing, painting, and photography, and principally, the graphic design work for which he is best known: posters, symbols, advertising and corporate design, and packaging. "Known by his pseudonym Zero, Hans Schleger was a pivotal figure in the history of modern graphic design. His nom-de-plume suggests his devotion to the Bauhaus principle of reduction, a design of simple unadorned essentials. Indeed, Schleger pioneered the concept of corporate identity, the task of distilling a company down to its visual essence." Edited by Pat Schleger; texts by Schleger, Hans Schleger, Fiona MacCarthy, Saul Bass, David Bernstein, and Ken Garland; foreword by Paul Rand. 272 pages; 369 color and 83 b&w illustrations; 8.5 x 10 inches.

Softcover. 3" x 5" multipanel map folding out to 23 1/2" x 17 1/4." Designed by Geographia and printed by the Baynard Press. It shows the routes of London Underground in a geographical layout, and not in the diagrammatic 'Beck' format used for the smaller pocket maps from 1933. This map was produced just before the beginning of the Second World War and used a design that had already been in use for a number of years. **OCLC** lists no holdings of the 1939 map and one holding of the 1938 edition. Very Good. Crisp with folds and a few tiny holes at some corners.

Designed by Henry Harry Beck. Printed by Johnson Riddle Co for London Transport. 22.7cm x 15.3cm. Card bi-fold pocket map. HC Beck Mainline interchange station map to the rear. Condition: excellent withsome wear to folds but otherwise a nice example.The 1938 No.1 pocket map came just 5 years after Harry Becks revolutionary diagram was first issued in 1933 and is the last of Becks 1st series of diagrams (more on that below).Having initially rejected Harry Becks design in 1931 on the grounds of being too revolutionary, the Underground Group Publicity Department tentatively published Becks map in January 1933 - to overwhelming enthusiasm from the public. The first distinct series of pocket maps by HC Beck ran from 1933-1938, all strikingly similar to the 1933 edition with their rich blue borders and evolving subtly with each iteration.This 1938 No. 1 is an identical reissue of 1937 No. 2 edition which saw the rather perplexing change of the Metropolitan Line colour to the same as the District line (Green). This Met would remain green until 1949 when it was returned to maroon, the colour it is on todays map.Much to Becks surprise and frustration, London Transport published an Underground pocket map by another designer, Hans Schleger later in 1938. Whilst Beck continued to design the map in poster formats, Schlegers pocket map ran for 2 years until responsibility for it returned to Beck in 1941.
