Image size 6.5 cms x 11 cms mounted and framed in an early frame. On the back of the frame is a label from The Piccadilly Gallery in 1985 stating it was sold to Barnabus McHenry that year.<br>A really enchanting image which Gill made for his adopted son Gordian. Eric and Mary only had daughters and after the birth of their youngest daughter Joanna in 1910 it became clear she was unable to bear any more children. In 1917 they decided to adopt one from the infants’ home in Haywards Heath. Eventually they were allowed to take the 8 month old Gordian home to foster. Although he was never legally adopted he was brought up as their son. This drawing would have been done for Gordian when he was 4 years old. unknown

19429566London: George Philip & Son Ltd 1942. Pictorial world map on Mercators projection 90 x 114 cm printed in colours a couple of short closed tears pin holes in corners recently lined on paper and linen. First published in 1942 a second edition bears a new copyright date of 1944 in the lower margin; a third edition revised with a new title and a polar projection of the world inscribed the United Nations was issued in 1948. Commissioned by Time and Tide magazine a British literary and political review it is among the scarcest of Gills pictorial maps. Although Time and Tide attracted well known writers it never enjoyed a wide circulation and was heavily subsidised by its founder the former Suffragette and Lusitania survivor Viscountess Rhondda. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference discussions between the two leaders held on board an American warship off the coast of Newfoundland. Both hoped to mobilise American support for intervention in the war and while this was not immediately forthcoming the Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but unstoppable. In time it would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. At such a dark time Gills tone is resolutely optimistic looking ahead to a world of peace and plenty - the text of the charter itself illuminates the world with its rays. In the lower left hand corner is a modern interpretation of Isaiahs prophecy: they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. A worker takes a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero Emerson Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace and the body of the map is given over to the worlds resources agricultural and mineral which could once again be used for the prosperity of mankind distributed around the world by a network of shipping lanes. The creator of the map MacDonald Gill brother of Eric was a successful commercial artist in his own right and a noted calligrapher who designed the font used on all headstones by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. His arts and crafts style 1913 map of the London Wonderground commissioned by Frank Pick helped to popularise a whole new genre of pictorial map making on both sides of the Atlantic. Further work for London Transport included redesigning the map of the network in the early 1920s and other clients included the Post Office and the Empire Marketing Board.
