EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic map of the Mediterranean, created by G. H. Davis in 1940, serves as a stark reminder of the world's alarm during the Second World War. As tensions escalated and battle lines were drawn, this intricate print showcases the principal bases that became pivotal in shaping wartime strategy. The familiar names etched on this map - Gibraltar, Toulon, Naples, Malta, and Alexandria - evoke memories of countless conflicts throughout history. These locations once again dominated global discussions as they played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the war. However, amidst these well-known strongholds lie new key points that emerged during this tumultuous period: Rhodes, Izmit, and Haifa. These previously unassuming places suddenly gained significance due to their strategic positions within the Mediterranean theater. With its detailed depiction of both land and sea across Europe's northern coast and Africa's northern reaches all the way to Cyprus and Turkey in the east, this panoramic map offers a comprehensive view of an area deeply embroiled in conflict. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Illustrated London News Ltd. , it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when nations held their breaths while contemplating each move on this complex geopolitical chessboard. This print stands as a testament to humanity's enduring struggle for power and control over one of history's most contested regions – forever capturing our attention with its rich tapestry of past battles fought and future uncertainties yet to come.
