Description

Rare 1914-1916 - World War One  - vintage Military Map of Eastern Europe
German Army operational map of Odessa area
These are very rare, only available in a few archives. Fabricated with thick paper, for field use, not the tissue-like paper sometimes you see on old maps designed for less rigorous usage. The type of paper has not been commonly used. Stored in a box for a century, they are still in very good condition. These can be unfolded easily and enjoyed, with a modicum of care of course.
For the military buff, you probably already know how these maps were used in the field - t
he sheet would have been overlayed using a 'trace' (sheet of acetate type material) with military boundaries, routes / axis and objectives marked on it.
