This educational wall chart from the 1960s, illustrated by Erich Melcher, depicts the bustling scene of Piccadilly Circus in London. Characteristic of mid-century modernist school graphics, it is printed on paper mounted on canvas and stretched between two steel rods for stability and ease of display. The composition is dominated by rich reds—the iconic double-decker bus and Royal Mail van—set against black asphalt and creamy beige facades. The scene is filled with detail: pedestrians in shades of yellow, blue, and green, various vehicles, and urban signage, all rendered with a lively, multicolored palette. The illustration has a semi-matte finish, with occasional sheen due to age and use. The overall condition is good: visible delaminations where the canvas separates from the paper, minor stains, fraying, and small edge tears, yet the colors remain vivid and the original character is preserved, with no evidence of major restoration. The chart echoes the spirit of the 1960s—an era when visual education was intended to ignite curiosity and open windows to the world. Its dynamic urban narrative recalls the optimism and rapid development of post-war European cities. The density of detail and bold contrasts seem to carry the lingering hum
