Trams to the Racecourses, River & Zoo

As the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board (M&MTB) opened new electric tram services, it commissioned a young artist, Vernon Jones, to design several promotional maps. TThe first version of this map announced an eight minute service from Collins Street to the Zoo. It was soon corrected to a more realistic 14 minutes.
