ParalympicsGB Medallists Map 2012

Lithograph

Numbered 692/1000

This colourful map celebrates the achievements of all the 97 athletes and five horses who contributed to ParalympicsGB’s medal haul, and follows on from the Team GB Olympic medallists map released in September 2012.

Designed by sports journalists Alex Trickett and David Brooks, the map groups athletes from various sporting disciplines on different lines. Athletics takes pride of place on the Circle line, though Britain’s monumental success in sports such as cycling and swimming meant that athletes had to be allocated multiple lines, with the medal-winning cyclists, for instance, representing both the Central and Hammersmith & City lines. In addition to this, designers Trickett and Brooks took into account the legendary status of some of these athletes and placed them at symbolic entry points to London 2012, with Sarah Storey, Britain’s most decorated female Paralympian, occupying Stratford Station–home of the olympic park– and Ellie Simmonds placed at West Ham.

Printed on high quality paper, the underground lines assume a certain allure as their colours shimmer and the thames, shining silver across the map, divides the city in two.

Condition: Generally very good, some small handling marks.
