Collector's Notes:
One of a series of maps intended to show Germany's vulnerability to air attack -- and therefore to argue for relaxation of the restrictions on rearmament imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. For background, see Notes to ID #1243.04 (Gauss). This one was published in Vienna and shows a map of Austria, not Germany, but the graphic message is clear.

About the collection

This is a collection of “persuasive” cartography: maps intended primarily to influence the opinion of the viewer -- to send a message -- rather than to communicate geographic information. The collection reflects a variety of persuasive tools: allegorical, satirical and pictorial mapping; selective inclusion or exclusion; unusual projections, graphics and text; and intentional deception. Maps in the collection address a wide range of messages: religious, political, military, commercial, moral and social.
