Collector's Notes:
The spread of "Germanness" in Europe. This map yields results very similar to those reflecting the notions of German "Volks- und Kulterboden." See Notes for ID #1216 (Penck).The scale of the large red circles in the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. is subject to arbitrary manipulation.

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.
