Notes
  • Includes text, key to British colonies and protectorates, and key to British wars and armed conflicts.
  • "A fascinating 1918 German-issued Spanish-language World War I broadsheet propaganda map representing the world wrapped in chains of British militarism and colonialism. Issued by F. Haase, this map was part of the WW I propaganda war waged by both the Allies and the Central Powers to sway the hearts and minds of neutral nations. This map was published in response to the 1917 British map, 'What Germany wants', which this map mirrors in style, typography, design, and coloration. Unlike the British map, which was printed in England and translated into various languages for distribution in neutral countries, this German response map was printed exclusively in Spain in only small quantities and is consequently far more ephemeral. While the British map outlines German imperial ambitions, this German response highlights existing British colonial claims. It denounces the British colonies and protectorates as 'open wounds' and 'poorly closed scars'. Blood red ink highlights the British sphere of influence with some 40 locations numerically identified as 'wounds' ... The 'scars' refer to British wars and conflicts, beginning as early as 1070 and extending to the 1904 war in Tibet. A lion representing England holds chains tethering the world. This map was published by F. Haase for distribution in Spain. Haase has proven annoyingly elusive. He appears to have operated in Spain during World War I, mostly issuing pro-Germany propaganda materials."--Edited description of Geographicus Rare Antique Maps.
