Contact seller5-star seller3 folding maps, roughly in the form of folding road maps printed on both sides, published for Esso. All three maps are in fine condition, with two short tears at edges. All three maps promote Esso oil products by featuring the role of oil products in transportation logistics. The first piece has a map of the world showing transp…ort routes. The second piece has a map of the world on one side, Europe on the other. The text mentions a book published in 1943, but the lack of any emphasis on France suggests that this was issued before June 6, 1944. The third map features the Pacific Theater of War, with a large map of the western Pacific Ocean and a more detailed map of the area around Japan. There are many inset maps of islands in the western Pacific, but not including the Solomon Islands, indicating that this was issued well after the Guadalcanal Campaign.
