Love it. Can you tell us more about this? They are layered postal areas I guess? All of them? All the same scale? What was the source map? Size of the finished piece?
That’s enough questions for now : )

Thanks Steve – I’m sorry I posted this in my usual haste and neglected to provide any useful information : )
The original source map was a Geographer’s A to Z Of London Postal Districts: an extremely garish sheet map (presumably from the 1980s, although I could find no date) which I cut into six equally sized square sections, dissected with a scalpel, and then layered on top of each other. The finished piece is 12 inches square (perfect album cover proportions : )

Do Brazil.
Gostei muito. Os mapas nos orientam e nos confundem.
Congratulações.
