Fully colored pocket map in fine condition. Stiff printed wrappers, lightly worn, with tear at top right corner. Shows from Basel, Switzerland to the North Sea and English Channel. Inset maps of the Eastern and Italian fronts. Town index for France and Belgium on the verso. A most interesting map of the western front in France in World War I, published just before the Armistice of November 11, 1918. The key, printed in red to correspond with locations on the map, shows the locations of the front at eight points during the war, starting in 1914, with the last being dated October 31, 1918. There is no acknowledgement of an imminent end of the war. A wonderful map which condenses the war into one graphic view.
