Description:
|
|
This large and bold map of the Philippines was published by the U.S. Army education branch to illustrate one of the most bitterly contested battles of the Pacific Theatre of World War II.
The clever use of lithography highlights the difficult terrain of the islands, especially the high ground. The whole map is also highlighted by the very striking blue colour used for the sea. Printed colour. [SEAS4912] [Tube] |
