The Highway Code (UK) - first edition, 1931
It wasn't until 1931 that the first official guide to using the UK's roads was issued by the Government - this is the cover of that version of the Highway Code. It was to stay a remarkably slender and simple guide until the 1970s. The signature is of interest - R M McLeod - who at the time was the Traffic Superintendent of Edinburgh Corporation Transport and who, in 1935, would become the General Manager of the undertaking.
The cover is plain typography using a variety of faces along with the royal arms (a Kruger Grey version I think).
