En 1788 Mirabeau disait deja: La Guerre est l'Industrie Nationale de la Prusse...
A very rare propaganda map issued by the French illustrating that "War is Prussia's National Industry", and showing them as a Octopus with tentacles reaching from Turkey and Spain to Russia and England. To the right of the map is an illustration of the Prussia soldier from the wars of 1715, 1815 and 1914. While attached quote at the bottom states "Under attack, we are merely defending ourselves in the name of Liberty and to preserve our lives – General Pétain, June 1917", the specific concern for the Alsace-Lorraine region is a focus.
While we've known of this map for years, it's our first opportunity to offer it.
Condition is good with some minor loss at corner folds and minor seperations. Overall age toning to the sheet with some browning to the right margin. Image size is approximately 15 x 21.5 (inches)
