Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Up for sale is an authentic, mid-1940s World War II atlas set published by the Geographia Map Co. in New York. Produced under the direction of the renowned Alexander Gross, F.R.G.S., this set was a primary tool for the American public to follow the global conflict across both the European and Pacific Theaters. The "Crown Jewel" Feature: Giant War Map of the World This listing includes the massive, original supplementary "Giant War Map of the World" (approx. inches). 300 National Flags: The bottom margin features a comprehensive visual guide to 300 flags of the Allied, Axis, and Neutral nations. Military Utility: Specifically designed for tracking front lines, the map uses high-contrast colors to illustrate the immense distances of the "Global War." The Ideal World Atlas & Gazetteer: Comprehensive Contents: Includes dedicated sections on the Japanese Empire, the U.S.S.R., and a massive two-page spreads of the Atlantic & Pacific Ocean Theater. Wartime "Up-to-Date" Coupon: Features the original, unclipped coupon on the contents page, offering post-war boundary supplements. Vibrant Color-Coding: All maps feature the signature high-saturation printing of the Geographia Map Co., with deep greens, pinks, and blues that remain fresh today. Condition: Near-Fine (Internal) / Poor (Dust Jacket) - Giant War Map: Excellent condition. No tears, scribbles, pinholes, or tape repairs. Remarkably, there is zero splitting or thinning at the sixteen cross-fold intersections—a rare finding for an 80-year-old paper map. The reverse is clean and bright white. - Atlas Interior: The maps are in great condition. The colors are vibrant and there are no handwritten notes or dog-ears. Historical Tanning: There is a distinct section of acid-transfer browning in the middle of the atlas (Pages 24-25) caused by a historical newspaper clipping kept inside. This stain is confined to the lower margins and does not obscure cartographic data. - Binding & Spine: Underneath the DJ, the pebble-grain red cloth binding is in near-fine condition. The silver-gilt titles on the spine are 100% intact, crisp, and bright. - Dust Jacket (DJ): The original pictorial DJ is in poor condition with significant paper loss at the top. It has been stabilized by being affixed to a stock paper backing for preservation.…
