Collector's Notes:
See Notes for ID #1292.01. The text describes Roosevelt's election on November 15, 1940, and calls him "the first man in American history to have the honour of being called three times running to the highest office in the free-ist Republic in the world." It notes his record of "pillorying" dictators and "castigating their methods." And it concludes by reporting Willkie's "unreserved support for all measures increasing help for Britain," so that "Roosevelt has the entire American people behind him in his determination to fight the Dictators."

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.
