Item description from seller

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Bears collection stamp from the Ashtabula Public Library in Ohio on verso. We have contacted the library and confirmed that it was legally deaccessioned. Size 44 x 28.5 Inches. This separately-issued large-format 1943 Robert M. Chapin map of Eastern Europe during World War II celebrates Russian victories on the Eastern Front in the late summer and fall of that year. When this map was published, the Soviets were on the cusp of pushing the Wehrmacht out of Russia's pre-1939 borders. Territory shaded black highlights the ground regained by the Russians, while red arrows bring the viewer's focus to areas of renewed offensives. Chapin employs geometry to 'project' just how far the Red Army could push the Germans in the coming months as the hearty Russian army choose to ignore the onset of winter and keep attacking the retreating Germans. Publication History and Census This map was initially drawn by Robert M. Chapin, Jr. for publication in the November 22, 1943 issue of TIME Magazine. The present example is an enlargement of that map and was published separately. It also bears a collection stamp from the Ashtabula Public Library in Ohio on verso. We have contacted the library and confirmed that it was legally deaccessioned. Two examples are cataloged in OCLC and are part of the institutional collections at Franklin and Marshall College and Wichita State University. References: OCLC 47735423.
