London Passport Map WW2

Description

Every borough of London is depicted with 3 or 4 passports of the largest foreign-born nationalities as documented in the census from WW2. Yanko then used silkscreen and genuine 24ct Gold Leaf to gild every Coat of Arm creating a metallic layer that reflects the light.
