CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: МОСКОВСКОЕ МЕТРО [Moscow Metro]

A beautifully minimalistic and geometrically precise schematic of the Moscow Metro from 1974, widely regarded as the most aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly edition produced. The clean layout presents each line in distinct colours radiating from the perfectly circular Koltsevaya line, achieving clarity and balance. Station names are rendered without clutter, and the restrained design prioritises navigability and visual harmony. Created during the Soviet era, this map stands as a high point in transit cartography and reflects the ambition and design discipline of the period.
