Add to basketCondition: Very Good. London, George Philip & Son, and Wellington, A.H. & A.W. Reed, 1942 [Australasian issue?]. A colour lithographed map (printed surface approximately 710 × 975, sheet size approximately 760 × 1020 mm). Originally issued folded into sixteenths, now presented opened out, archivally mounted behind Mylar and a wi…ndow mat; unobtrusive light creases where originally folded; an excellent copy, unusually fresh and bright. This large pictorial map commemorates the joint declaration by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in August 1941, which outlined their shared aspirations for the world after the Second World War. Gill's design, in his characteristic colourful and engaging style, includes the text of the charter (with facsimile signatures of Roosevelt and Churchill), and presents in visual form its optimistic vision of a world united by trade and productive collaboration. In one corner a muscular labourer takes a sledgehammer to the machinery of war near a scroll containing a quotation from Isaiah 2:4: 'They shall beat their swords into plowshares .'). The map can be found with several different imprints, depending on the market for which it was printed. In addition to the usual imprint of George Philip & Son, this example also carries the imprint of A.H. & A.W. Reed, Wellington, New Zealand, presumably indicating that this version was produced for the Australasian market. Macdonald Gill (1884-1947), British 'Mapmaker, Graphic Designer, Letterer & Architect . was commissioned by the Ministry of Information to design maps showing natural resources and to create graphics for several propaganda and military training films' (Macdonald Gill website). He produced similar maps of the British dominions.
