Esso Maps is a post on The Hickensian

These Esso maps from the 1960’s were a great ebay bargain find. I particularly wanted the London map, as the cover illustration was just stunning.

Collecting motoring maps from the 30’s onwards has become a bit of a hobby of late, and I’ve started uploading photos of some of them to Flickr.

The Hickensian is the journal of Jon Hicks, one half of the creative partnership Hicksdesign. See the work we do.
