  • "This fascinating atlas was published in Chicago by Rand McNally during the early summer of 1918 ... Issued for distribution by the National Bank of Ogdensburg, presumably to its patrons, the cheaply printed volume was designed to inform the friends and loved ones of the 'doughboys' deployed overseas. The atlas consists of 16 double-sided pages that are heavily biased in favor of the Allied powers and emphasize the geography of the Western Front. A map of the United States presents the "Comparative areas of the countries at war," suggesting that America is the same physical size as all other combatants combined. This is followed by general maps of the world and Europe, two maps of territorial changes as of June 1918, one map of the Turkish theater, and larger-scale regional maps."--Edited description of Curtis Wright Maps.
