Original large-format color lithographed fold-out maps of the Western and Italian Fronts during World War One, published more than 100 years ago.

• The maps are printed back-to-back on a single sheet measuring a generous 71 x 96.5 cm [28" x 38"] and fold into stiff cardboard covers with an extensive index to 10,000 place names.



• The maps were compiled by C.S. Hammond & Company, New York and are drawn on an approximate scale of 1:633,000. They show railways, canals, aircraft depots, wireless stations, forts and redoubts, forests and woods, boundaries of countries, and fortresses, fortified towns, and naval arsenals.



• Color overlays on the map of the Western Front show the Farthest German Advance, 1914; Farthest Allied Advance, to March 1918; German Advance, 1918; and Battle Line, November 1, 1918.



• On the map of the Italian Front the overlays show the Farthest Eastern Advance of the Italian Army and the Battle Line on November 1, 1918.



• Condition:  Maps, covers, and contents are in very good condition, complete, sound, and intact. A previous owner has written an inscription in the margin at the upper right of the Western Front map, and there are a few scattered tiny closed edge tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.



• This is a genuine original, authentic set of maps, not a reproduction or modern reprint. Folded size is 7¾" x 5¾".
