About This Item
Chicago.: Chicago Daily Tribune.. January 91942.. Printed colour map on a single newspaper leaf 37.2 x 53.4 cm; 45 x 59.9 cm (sheet), inset legend, marginal browning and at the folds, lower margin with small edges tears (not affecting the caption), but remarkably bright, in very good condition. Rare map of Asia "Between Suez on the west and Shanghai on the east" showing territorial interests and theatres of war, published in the Chicago Daily Tribune in January 1942, barely two months after the Uniited States had joined the war effort after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Thailand and Vietnam ("French Indo-China") are marked "Occupied by the Japanese" and north-eastern China similarly marked, Iran "Anglo-Russian Occupation" and the Gulf states "British Ally". The caption notes that "The map inludes waters thru which runs the British life line from the Suez canal to remote Australia and New Zealand. Nearly half the people in the world live in the lands shown on this map--more than 450 million, for example, in China, and more than 375 million in India".
"... the historic Chicago Tribune was an innovator in color inks and printing, but also a pioneer in bringing colorful art in the form of illustrations, photographs, cartoons and advertisements to the average person in an everyday medium." [see The Janet A. Ginsburg Chicago Tribune Collection, Michigan State University Libraries.] .
