Description
This mass-produced German war atlas was published in Munich in late 1916 by G. Schuh & Company. For 30 pfennigs (about $2.00 today), an anxious German mother or curious schoolchild could get an ‘up-to-date’ series of maps that showed the status of the Eastern Front between modern-day Latvia and Romania.
A bold red line punctuates maps that show primary settlements, transportation networks, and pictorial topography with hachured contours. The steady and uniform depiction of such a complex notion as ‘the front’ is frankly absurd, and the atlas was possibly issued to bolster morale amid the Russian’s devastating Brusilov offensive that summer.
