Pub Note:
Double sided. "Richard Edes Harrison's innovative maps of the 1940s are critical to the history of American cartography. His techniques defied convention and created a new standard for the look and shape of the world on a map. Harrison designed the maps to be both visually appealing and politically charged, reflecting the urgently of the war while also maintaining the elegant artistic dimension." (Schulten 1996).
