Description:
London, George Philip & Son Ltd., 1947. . Folding map, general mild toning more so to some folds, otherwise very good. Framed and glazed, overall size: 9990 x 1240 mm (123.7cm by 98.5cm by 2.5cm). The map provides a record of Winston Churchill's journeys in the Second World War and the means by which the travels were made. His journeys were to numerous political conferences from New York to Moscow, beginning with the 'Atlantic Charter' in 1941, which was the product of his meeting at sea with Roosevelt that established the general desire on both sides for a democratic, progressive post-war world. After a number of intercontinental circuits the map brings his journeys to an end at the Potsdam Conference of 1945, the historic meeting of the 'Big Three' (Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin), to negotiate the post-war treatment of Germany. In addition, the map also illustrates Churchill's 1944 tours of the beaches of Normandy and the invasion coasts of Italy and Southern France. Featured at the bottom…
