Petersen. 1944 Description: Colour pictorial map, 51 x 67 cms, two small inset maps of Scandinavia and the Baltic and South Greece and the Dodecanese, on the verso a black and white world map showing the Pacific Theatre marking keys events of the war and in European world history, folding into the original pictorial pocket (a little toned and marked) 25.8 x 17.7 cms, small fold split, but in very good condition. A scarce map in the "Dated Events" series published by C.C. Petersen in Canada, and distributed throughout North America commemorating D-Day. The colour map by Stanley Turner encompasses the area from England as far south as the French border with Spain and as far east as the USSR and Turkey. "With this invasion map you will be able to follow the progress of the Allied troops on their way to smash Germany...". The text at lower left goes on to elaborate on the features shown on the map, from elevation ("major battles are seldom fought on the tops of mountains") to pictographs of bombs falling. The black and white map on the verso shows the Far Eastern theatre of war, centring on the Pacific Ocean with the Asian landmass including India and the USSR at upper left, Australia at lower left and North America and the coast of South America at right of the map. Naval bases are shown and significant events in the war are noted in text boxes. A handsome production of a scarce map rarely seen with the original pictorial pocket.
