About the Item

MacDonald Gill's 1937 original map, titled "A Great Industry Where Our Tea Comes," stands as a testament to the intersection of informative and creative mapping. This remarkable work takes us on a visual journey to explore the tea industry, providing both geographic knowledge and artistic delight. MacDonald Gill, often referred to as "Max Gill," was a visionary in the world of cartography and graphic design. His maps were known for their meticulous detail, intricate illustrations, and a unique ability to convey information with artistic flair. Gill's work went beyond traditional maps; they were visual narratives that celebrated the subjects they depicted. Gill's 1937 map offers a detailed and artistic representation of the global tea industry. The map is adorned with intricate illustrations, depicting scenes of tea cultivation, processing, and distribution. Gill masterfully weaves together informative elements with artistic expressions, creating a visual masterpiece. The color palette chosen for the map reflects the diverse regions where tea is grown. Rich greens, vibrant reds, and earthy browns evoke the essence of tea plantations in India, China, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and other tea-producing countries. The colors transport viewers to the very heart of these regions. "A Great Industry Where Our Tea Comes" is a tribute to the global tea industry and the people who cultivate and produce this beloved beverage. It showcases the journey of tea, from lush plantations to tea tables around the world. Gill's intricate illustrations offer an immersive experience, celebrating the craftsmanship and labor behind every cup of tea. Gastronomy - Map - Colony - India Ceylon - Sumatra - Java England
