Maps of Manchester - amendment list 1952 - "Don't be an ass"
Manchester had, for many years, a municipal "Information Bureau" - it being the sort of city where the word 'tourist' sat uncomfortably for most of the Twentieth Century. One of its publications was a "Map of Manchester" and this is an amendment slip issued in 1952 to bring things up to date; bus route changes, etc. Anyhow, someone decided that the leaflet should have a second purpose - that of road safety and so here are two sketch cartoons pushing the sensible road safety message of "Don't be an ass!!". My how times and the use of language have changed.
