Very good. Some wear on original fold lines. Printed front and back. Size 10 x 17.5 Inches. This 1944 pamphlet and map of the Army Service Forces 'Weapons of War' exhibit in New York City's Central Park was created as a souvenir for those attending the exhibit. The show (which opened less than a week after the D-Day invasion of France) set up on the Great Lawn just north of the 86th Street Transverse and was intended to drive the purchase of War Bonds and popularize the war effort. The exhibit was initially scheduled to run from June 11 to the 24th, but proved so popular, drawing some 600,000 visitors, that it was extended an extra day to the 25th before moving to Chicago. The highlight was a 'spectacular sham battle' put on by the Fighting Quartermaster's Corps. Another highlight was the flamethrower demonstration, staged every hour before a grandstand that could hold 2,500 spectators. Describing the Pamphlet A double-sided souvenir, the front features a graphic cover claiming that the exhibit will contrast 'America's War Equipment with that of the Axis.' The verso or centerfold features a map oriented to the northwest depicting the Great Lawn, or the Oval, in Central Park. Parts of the exhibit are dedicated to different divisions within the U.S. Army, such as the Signal Corps, the Quartermaster Corps, the Corps of Engineers, Ordnance, mortars, armor, the Medical Department, and the Chemical Warfare Service. A detailed look at the Corps of Engineers exhibit appears on the back cover, and includes the piece of information that 69,602,000 copies of 3,132 separate maps were delivered for 'D' Day use. The exhibit and the overall layout, as seen here, was designed by Russel G. Matthews, a civilian consultant for the Quartermaster's Corps. Publication History and Census This map was prepared and distributed by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1944. An example is cataloged in OCLC and is part of the collection at the New York Public Library. References: OCLC 60313790.

Good. Stain at centerfold. Size 19 x 22.5 Inches. This is Johann Baptist Homann's map of Scandinavia, bringing the dominant 17th-century mapping of the northern parts of Europe up-to-date with the events of the Great Northern War (1700 - 1721). The map is based primarily on Anders Bure's 1626 mapping of the region - the authority for more than a century. The political borders reflect the state of affairs following the disastrous Great Northern War with Russia. A Closer Look The scope of the map includes Denmark, Norway, the greater Swedish Empire, the Baltic coasts of Germany, Poland, and Livonia, and the Russian Empire - including 'Lapponia Moscovitica,' the portions of Lapland occupied by Russia. St. Petersburg is named, and while the region of Carelia just north of it is tinted to reflect Swedish territory, the outline border in green extends into that territory from Pitis to Soma, indicating Russian control over that area. The Great Northern War This map was produced after Great Northern War (1700 - 1721), fought between Sweden and Russia. It captured a period in which Sweden was losing ground - particularly in the Gulf of Finland and St. Petersburg. The dotted, engraved border between Russian and Swedish territory is preserved here from (most likely) De Wit's 1680 Novissima nec non Perfectissima Scandinaviae , which showed the extent of Sweden's acquisitions as of 1654. The Allegorical Cartouche The title cartouche in the upper left is beautifully engraved but has been edited: the medallion once containing the portrait of King Charles XII has been replaced with the coat of arms of Frederik I, who took the throne on March 24, 1720, following the abdication of his wife, Charles XII's sister, who had taken the throne after her brother's death at the 1718 Siege of Fredriksten. The allegorical features of the cartouche, aimed at the late king, were equally applicable to his successors. A lion, one of the heraldic symbols for Sweden, lies at the foot of the portrait. In its mouth is a laurel - the symbol of victory - wilting. To the left, a helmeted figure - Ares, the god of War - is removing laurels from the portrait frame. A putto reaches up towards the crown surmounting the frame, indicating imminent loss. The goddess of victory - Nike - flies away, holding her victory laurel away from the king. Seated beside the portrait, with veiled hair, an incense burner, and a palm branch, is a mournful-looking figure (possibly Chastity). Charles XII never married and fathered no known children: in an 18th-century monarch, this represented more of a problem than a virtue. When Charles was shot and killed during the Siege of Fredriksten, his sister Ulrika assumed the throne, but was unable to maintain absolute rule. The war with Russia ended soon after, and it fell to Frederik I to swallow the inevitable results of the conflict. Publication History and Census The cataloging of this map is wildly inconsistent in terms of its dating; there was more than one plate, and multiple states of those. No date earlier than 1712 for the first plate is possible, owing to the clear presence of St. Petersburg. The earliest credible date for this printing - a second plate entirely - is 1721, but we are inclined to think it to have been one of the younger Homann's maps re-engraved after the death of Johann Baptist Homann, probably 1724. The map is well represented in institutional collections, but given inconsistent cataloging, it is impossible, short of the examination of each cataloged example in person, to determine the prevalence of one plate over another.
