Map. Condition: Fine condition. First printing. A large format map illustrating the geopolitics of Europe after W.W.I. Intended to persuade viewers about the threat presented by the Central Powers of Germany, Austro-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, it color-codes them in black to emphasize the danger they might pose to the fledgling League of Nations. The solution is stated on the map, which quotes from the Allies' war aims as articulated to President Wilson in 1916: "The civilized world knows that the aims of the Allies include-the reorganization of Europe, guaranteed by a stable settlement, based alike upon the principle of nationalities and on the right which all peoples, whether small or great, have to the enjoyment of full security and free economic development." The efforts to secure the peace in Europe dictated the division of nations, cultures and tribes has continued to plague the world for over 100 years (sellers' opinion). These groups include Greek pockets within Turkey, Armenians (in three pockets), and Kurds Arabs which includes Jewish Colonies in Palestine. Also of note and marked on the map are the "Expropriations of the German Ansiedelungs Commission," an 1886 German proclamation that allowed Prussian settlers to appropriate Polish sovereign land.

Very good. Exhibits some toning. Closed very minor margin tear professionally repaired on verso. Blank on verso. Accompanied by original typed letter from Warren Gibbs. Size 13.5 x 19 Inches. This is an extremely rare 1933 Lewis Rothe and Warren Gibbs pictorial map of Europe playfully commemorating the peregrinations of the 301st Field Artillery during World War I. The map traces the movements of the 301st from Boston through Nova Scotia and England to France and then back across the Atlantic to New York City after the end of the war. Created in conjunction by Lewis Rothe, the artist, and Warren R. Gibbs, a veteran of the 301st, commentary, hilarious vignettes, and in some cases a surprising level of detail, are present throughout. A series of 'close-ups' are included in the lower left, which are caricatures of some of the men in the unit that highlight, among others, Lieutenant Dowd's luck at gambling, and Colonel Brooke's habit of buying souvenirs. The Travels of the 301st The journey begins at Camp Devens in Massachusetts, with the 301st leaving the United States in July 1918 and heading to Nova Scotia before crossing the Atlantic to England, and finally the English Channel to France, all while following at dotted line with arrows pointing the way. The three of ships upon which they traveled are illustrated and named, with two of the crossings highlighted by seasick men. It appears that before the unit left England they played a game of baseball. Once in France, arriving on August 15 at Le Havre, the unit winds its way around France on foot and by train. Artillery pieces, trains, doughboys in uniform, waiters at French restaurants, and the Eiffel Tower are among the illustrations, with no sign of combat. A doughboy carries a bearded Santa Claus on his shoulder to mark Christmas 1918, two days before the unit leaves Europe to return to the United States. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Lewis Rothe and published by Warren Rockwood Gibbs in 1933 to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the end of the war. We are aware of only two other examples, which are part of the institutional collections at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center and the Waltham Public Library in Waltham, Massachusetts.
