We hadn&#8217;t seen the map itself, just other references to it on the web, and that&#8217;s still the case, but in January this year we got an email from Jan Danielsson, to say he&#8217;d found, and bought, a rare copy of the map in an auction in Stockholm. The <a href=\"http:\/\/magasin5.auktionsverket.se\/1401\/224815-plansch\/\">auction website<\/a> has an excellent, high-resolution excerpt of the map, we reproduce a couple of excerpts of the excerpt (!) here to give you an ideal of the detail. <\/p>\n<p>Our comments from <a href=\"http:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/2013\/the-bastion-of-liberty\/\">previous article<\/a> still stand &#8211; it&#8217;s a gloriously detailed, colourful map, and it&#8217;s striking to see the places that have stayed the same over 70 years, much as the places that have changed beyond all recognition. <\/p>\n<p>If someone living in London has the physical map, we would love to take a look.<\/p>\n<p><i>Thank you to Jan to emailing us about his purchase and the link to the auction site, and Auktionsverket for posting high-resolution images<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bastion_excerpt2.jpg\" alt=\"bastion_excerpt2\" width=\"528\" height=\"359\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bastion_excerpt2.jpg 528w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bastion_excerpt2-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bastion_excerpt2-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We featured Lee&#8217;s Bastion of Liberty map, a detailed portrait of London to remind the war-weary 1940s\/50s public of the great city that they lived<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[346,285,348],"class_list":["post-3670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art","tag-346","tag-decorative","tag-lee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3670"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4386,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3670\/revisions\/4386"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mappinglondon.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
