EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Daily Mail War Map" from the early weeks of World War I. Released by the Daily Mail newspaper, this fold-out war map provided valuable statistics about the manpower strength and resources of each warring nation. The Triple Entente, consisting of Britain, France, and Russia, boasted a combined manpower of 9, 380, 000 men (with Britain contributing just 380, 000), while the Triple Alliance had a slightly higher count at 9, 500, 000. The map's purpose was to allow civilians to track the progress of the campaign by marking it with Philips flag pins in ten different colors. It not only displayed borders and countries but also included information on battleships and food stores possessed by each nation involved in this historic conflict. Dating back to 1914 when World War I broke out, this remarkable artifact provides us with a glimpse into history. Its intricate details offer insights into how nations prepared for war and highlight their relative strengths during those tumultuous times. As we explore this photographical treasure from Mary Evans Prints Online collection today, we are reminded of the significance that maps held as tools for understanding global conflicts like WWI. This image serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to comprehend complex events through visual aids.
