Size 19.25 x 38.5 Inches. This is a 1966 Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Information bilingual English and Turkish panorama tourist map of Turkey. The country's mountainous terrain takes center stage, allowing the viewer a brief but comprehensive view of Turkey's topography. Three different types of red lines illustrate three different road grades, from hard-surfaced roads to 'loose surfaced roads of low standards,' which snake their way from one end of the country to the other and. The black lines represent railroads. A table on the lower right presents Turkish traffic signs to foreign visitors. A chart on the lower left details distances between Turkish cities, while a series of tables along the right border provide average temperatures and humidity levels for eight Turkish cities. Publication History and Census This map was created by APA OFSET of Istanbul for the Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Information in 1966. Two examples are cataloged in OCLC and are part of the institutional collections at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

Exhibits soiling throughout. Size 48 x 31.5 Inches. Published near the end of the American Vietnam War, this 1975 Vietnamese Ministry of Education wall map of Vietnam depicts the 1945 August Revolution, an armed revolt against the Japanese occupation and French colonial rule. Small illustrations of the Vietnamese Communist flag (now the national flag of Vietnam) mark cities where insurrections occurred, with dates in red. The dark red in extreme northern Vietnam highlights the region controlled by the Central Committee of the Communist Party, while the orange areas mark 'Chi?n Khu' (war zones). The August Revolution The August Revolution, also known as the August General Uprising, began in mid-August 1945, and within two weeks the Vi?t Minh controlled all of Vietnam. This fortuitous position evolved after the Japanese coup d'état in March 1945 that overthrew the puppet French government. The coup exacerbated an already devastating famine, which allowed the Vi?t Minh the opportunity to organize their 'People's Revolutionary Committees'. When the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, these committees were poised to seize power and did so without hesitation. Two weeks later, on September 2, 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence from France, which would lead to the French Indochina War (1946 -1954) and subsequently the American Vietnam War (1855 - 1975). Publication History and Census This map was created and printed by the Second Publishing House of Survey of Geodesy and Map and published by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education in 1975. This is the only known example.

Very good. Blank on verso. Size 9.5 x 13 Inches. This is a c. 1830 French map of Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, published by the French Ministry of the Navy. Depth soundings are noted in Guantánamo Bay as well as in the nearly Guantánamo River, suggesting that the river was then navigable. Inland topography details the nearby landscape, but there is notably no trace of human habitation anywhere on the map. A pastedown at bottom center advertises Chez Chaumas-Gayet, a book, map, and chart seller in Bordeaux, France, active in the early to mid-19th century. The French in Guantánamo Between 1810 - 1830, the bay would have been of interest to the French, many of whom landed in Guantánamo after fleeing the revolutionary wars in Haiti (1791 - 1804) and the subsequent destabilization. French expatriates were involved in renovating and laying out the nearby city of Guantánamo, just 15 miles to the north. With a rich plantation culture, excellent harbor, and weak central government in Havana, Guantánamo may have seemed like a second chance for the French, who despite setbacks in Haiti, were once again waxing historical. Gitmo, Then and Now Although Guantánamo, or Gitmo, is today synonymous with the War on Terror, detainees, a U.S. Naval Base, and American imperialism, this was not always the case. Guantánamo is a major port in the southeastern part of Cuba, unique for being surrounded by high mountains that somewhat separate it from the surrounding territory. It was first visited by Columbus in 1494, who named it Puerto Grande. Afterwards, it became one of the most important ports in Southern Cuba, notable for being fully sheltered from dangerous Caribbean storms. It was briefly sized by the British in 1741 during the War of Jenkins Ear (1739 - 1748) who renamed it Cumberland Bay. When this map was made, in the early 1800s, the bay was an important anchorage. The new name lasted no longer than the British occupation. After the United States seized control of Cuba during the Spanish American War (1898), Cuba President Tomás Estrada Palma, offered the U.S. a perpetual lease on the Bay. The subsequent 1903 Cuban-American Treaty of Relations held, among other things, that the United States, for the purposes of operating 'coaling and naval stations', has 'complete jurisdiction and control' of the Guantánamo Bay. Today the Bay hosts an important U.S. Naval base and prison, Gitmo, as it is known colloquially. Cuba had accepted only one lease payment from the U.S. in over 100 years of occupation, citing the illegality of U.S. claims. While Cuba does not recognize U.S. claims on the bay, it is de facto fully under U.S. military control. During the War on Terror (2001 - ????), the Guantánamo Bay naval base was developed as a dentation center for political prisoners and, despite international protest, remains so to this day. Publication History and Census This map was published by the French Ministry of the Navy c. 1820 - 1830. An example is cataloged in OCLC as part of the collection at the British Library.

Very good. Laid down on old linen in 12 sections by publisher. Old linen stable. Size 42 x 57.25 Inches. This is an impressive 1923 official tri-lingual (Chinese, French, English) postal wall map of Jihei, at the time known as Ki-Hei, northern Manchuria. The work is a comprehensive postal administration tool, and with it, a postmaster could reasonably manage postal distribution throughout the massive province. A Closer Look Coverage is centered on the district capital of Harbin. The map is bordered on the north and east by Siberia and the Heilong River (Amur River), and on the south by Mongolia, Fengtien, and Korea. The impressively detailed chart notes postal roads, river crossings, and mileage between post locations. Post Offices appear throughout and are subdivided by size, with seven designations between the single District Head Office (Harbin) and numerous Rural Stations. A key at bottom center breaks down these and other distinctions not used on this map, such as 'Postal Connexion by Boat' suggesting that this coding system was used on other postal maps of the period. Chinese Post Prior to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, during the Mínguó or Republic of China Era (1912 - 1949), Manchuria was divided into two large postal districts. The northern district, Jihei or Ki-Hei, centered on Harbin (???) and covered most of modern-day Manchuria to its borders with Siberia, Korea, and Mongolia. The smaller but more populous southern district, Fengtien, consisted of the Liaodong Peninsula, including Russian-administered Port Arthur (??; Dalian), Moukden (??; Shenyang), and Newchwang (??; Yingkou). Railroad Routes The map notes the Trans-Siberian railway passing north of the border from Chita to Vladivostok. It also notes the Tras-Manchurian Railway to Harbin and the South Manchuria Railway from Harbin to Lüshunkou (????). Minor manuscript annotation highlights the line from Kirin (??; Jilin) to Omu and Tunhwa (Tonghua; ???). Publication History and Census This map was printed in Beijing by the printing bureau of the Ministry of Finance (???) for the Chinese Postal Service in 1923, during the Republic of China. This map was first issued in 1920. The present example has minor updates to 1923. We note examples of the map in its 1927 edition at Yale University and at the British Library, St. Pancras. There is only one recorded holding of this 1923 edition, which is at the University of Kansas. References: OCLC 896882279, 755101998.
