Subway - From Shield Tunnelling to Mosaic Tiles

Under Stockholm the ground is so hard that the metro had to be blasted into it. In Chicago, on the other hand, it's so swampy that the first line was run at high altitude. And Salvador Dalí once walked out of the Paris metro with an anteater.

A worthy companion to the authors' book Tram, Subway is a fascinating look at the past, present and future of underground transport. Giant boxes in Budapest, hidden details in Vienna, underground palaces in Moscow and many more familiar faces from around the world await metro fans in this artistically yet meticulously drawn volume with the masterpieces of the illustrator Dániel Szinvai.
