Final edition of map designed by Hans Schleger, with all color from 1939 edition removed due to wartime, printed in brown and blue only. Beck's underground maps had been published in 1932. In 1938 Beck's design was used in a from of card folder, designed by Hans Schleger, published in 1938, 1939 and 1941. Although the map maintained all the elements of the Beck's circuit approach but with distinctive modification with blue-green background intended to highlight the central area, shows early sign of zoning, and absence of the iconic Underground logo on the map. On verso: 4 maps showing the places of interest.

1941 WWII London Underground map in color, 20.5x24, with advertisement on verso. Designed by H.C. Beck after his return to the position as lead map designer. Beck's underground maps had been published since 1933. Beck's maps are entirely schematic and largely non geographical design for the railway system, considered to be a landmark of twentieth century information design. In 1938 Beck's design was altered by Hans Schleger, and this new design was published in 1938, 1939 and 1941. The map maintained all the elements of the Beck's circuit approach but with distinctive modification with blue-green background intended to highlight the central area. It shows early signs of zoning, and does not include the iconic Underground logo on the map. On his return in 1941, Beck was asked to use interlinking circles for the interchange stations. This map shows advertisements at the top and bottom of the map.
