DESCRIPTION: Large, lithographed poster-sized map: "Great Britain Her Natural & Industrial Resources" published circa 1942, during WWII, by British Information Services. On the verso a printed statement: "Printed in Great Britain." Scarce on the market and quite nicely executed.
At bottom right the attribution reads: "Distributed by British Information Services, an agency of the British Government, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City." British Information Services was formed in 1941 as an office of the British Government with the goal to promote Britain's interests in the United States. Prior to December 1941 the United States had not formally entered into the war in Europe and this map poster was part of the propaganda Britain employed to sway U.S. opinion to its side.
