Daily Mail War Map, WW1

A fold out war map issued by the Daily Mail in the early weeks of the First World War. The map offers statistics regarding the manpower strength of each of the warring nations, as well as the number of battleships and food stores each had. While the Triple Entente of Britain, France and Russia could boast 9, 380, 000 men (of which Britain comprised just 380, 000), the Triple Alliance numbered 9, 500, 000. The map was intended to be marked with Philips flag pins in ten different colours so that civilians could chart the progress of the campaign. Date: 1914
