Washington, D.C.: US War Department, 1943. Original double-sided poster. Offset lithograph in both color and black and white. 35" x 47".<br/> <br/> Newsmap was a weekly educational and propaganda poster published by the US War Department during and immediately after World War II. It ran in four volumes from April 1942 to March 1946, after which an additional eight issues were published. Newsmaps were not issued for general distribution, the posters were distributed to military installations as well as government and civilian groups working on War Department projects.
