Now I cannot deny, but I do have an eye for the contoured line. Cartographic Chaps we are raising the scale in the store, call it a legend move, but we have some impressive maps on sale now. How about a 1944 U.S. Army Engineers foldable road map of France, or a 1917 British cloth map of the Western Front or an annotated American Map, which an artillery general wrote all over while getting his bearings in the final pushes of the Western Front in World War One. Looked great framed, for your research purposes or even placed on the wall in your map room... Okay we all know the only map room you have is the app icon on your phone.

This is a 1944 Navy Department pictorial map of the Mediterranean region. The map depicts the region from the Atlantic Ocean and Portugal to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, including Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and the Red Sea and from the English Channel, Germany and Switzerland to the North African coast. Highly detailed and visually stunning, this NavWarMap effectively summarizes Allied operations in the Mediterranean theater through the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943. https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NavWarMap1-navy-1944 #geographicus #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #warmap #navwar #navwarmap #wwii #ww2 #worldwar2 #worldwarii (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)

This is an enlarged, separate issue version of a 1945 R. M. Chapin, Jr. map of Central Europe created for TIME Magazine. The map depicts the region from just west of the Rhine River to eastern Poland and the Oder River and from the Baltic Sea to Italy and the Balkans. The Allied advance, from both east and west, is illustrated as a flood bursting through dams and coloring all of gray Germany blood red. The Americans, British, Canadian, and French armies were 'flooding' across the Rhine in four different places, including Remagen, where American forces had famously captured the last bridge traversing the river. From the east, the Soviet army was breaking through from the White Russian (Belarussian) front, as well as in the Balkans. The drive into Germany was on. In the south, U.S. and British forces are noted as having reached just outside of Bologne, Italy. As the armies raced toward Berlin, Chapin presents the viewer with a question: Does Hitler have an inner fortress around Berchtesgaden, his fabled hideaway in the Alps? Chapin sketches a circle around Berchtesgaden, stretching from Trieste https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/thefloodscome-chapin-1945to Pilsen, perhaps proposing that, even though the Allied armies had broken through into Germany, the possibility of hard fighting still lingered. https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/turkeycrossroads-chapin-1943 #geographicus #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #worldwar2 #ww2 #worldwarII #wwII #germany #warmap (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)

This is an enlarged, separate issue version of a 1943 R. M. Chapin, Jr. map of the Balkans and eastern Europe created for TIME Magazine. The map depicts the region from Germany and Poland to Turkey and from Berlin and Belgrade to the Soviet Union and the Black Sea. Illustrating a proposed Allied advance across the Bosphorus and into Greece and Bulgaria, this little-known front of World War II saw some harrowing action. The map notes that Sofia, Bulgaria was bombed 'last week' and Ploeisti, Romania in August was the costliest Allied bombing raid of the war. In that raid 53 aircraft and 660 airmen were lost. Although an Allied invasion of this style never occurred, the simple threat tied down Axis (German) troops and stoked resistance efforts in the region. It also helped stall, and then reverse, the stretch of the 'shadow' of Nazi Germany. https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/turkeycrossroads-chapin-1943 #geographicus #raremap #raremaps #antiquemaps #antiquemap #warmap #worldwarii #ww2 #wwii #timemegazine (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps)
