This leaflet shows the line south through Stockwell - and is one of the very few items ever issued by London Transport not wholly in the standard Johnston typeface. The early seventies were the lowest ebb in many ways for the corporate identity of the Underground prior to the re-affirmation of the company's own typeface.
