Title: John Bull and His Friends. A Serio-Comic Map of Europe By Fred W. Rose…1900 Map Maker: Fred Rose / Bacon & Co.
Description: Fascinating political caricature map by Frederick Rose of the countries of Europe, known as the Octopus Map from the brooding presence of the Russian Empire depicted as a massive octopus, whose tentacles stretch out towards Europe. China is shown in the grasp of Russia, as is Persia and Poland. France and Spain are attractive women, while Germany, Italy and England are Military commanders. his map, by Rose, followed the style created by a Frenchman, Joseph Goggin, showing Russia as an octopus. A nice example, with very minor fold breaks, else a clean fresh example in the original printed covers, as issued. Scarce and highly sought after by political and map collectors.
