The original Ordnance Survey Popular Edition series was published just after the First World War and was the first to be conceived from the outset as a mass-market product, and the first to be produced in full colour. The new technology was put to the test in catering for a wholly new market. If the railways were the transport revolution of the 19th century, the motor car was certainly that of the 20th - accurate, relevant and up to date maps ere needed. The Popular Edition provided them. For the first time the gradations of the road network were described, with each route being coloured according to its suitability or otherwise for motor traffic.
