Map of Leeds

Believed to be of c1960s origin this is another very fine example of Enid Stocken's puzzle cutting skill. Accurate cutting along building outlines, crests and road signs adds considerably to the task of assembly and without a good awareness of the layout of Leeds, getting the various sections in place is somewhat challenging to say the least! A large number of figural shaped pieces, coupled with the black and white frame to the map proved the easiest places to start putting it all together.

The detailed pictorial map is by the artist and former Leeds architect Denis Mason Jones (1918-2010). The map is understood to be of c1948 design and published by Kerry Lee's "Pictorial Maps Ltd." company where Mason worked for some time after the second world war.
