Asien entworfen und gezeichnet von C.F. Weiland

This finely engraved and detailed map of Asia was published in 1835 by Carl Ferdinand Weiland (1782–1847), one of the most accomplished German cartographers of the 19th century and a long-time contributor to the Geographisches Institut in Weimar. The map offers an expansive depiction of the Asian continent, reaching from the eastern Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula to Japan and the Philippines, and from the Arctic Ocean to the northernmost parts of Australia and the East Indies.

Rendered in a rare blue ink, the print vividly portrays a group of hunters, some mounted on horseback, wielding polearms, and a male lion ferociously attacking a fallen hunter.

The Devil Made Me Do it!

A vivid countercultural poster against the Nixon administration’s Southeast Asia policy, issued in the wake of the Cambodian incursion and the public revelation of covert U.S. bombing campaigns. The poster depicts a cartoonish, flame-licked caricature of Richard Nixon, grinning malevolently as he brandishes a simplified map of Indochina. The map is studded with aircraft and explosions across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Beside him blazes the satirical phrase “The Devil Made Me Do It!,” a popular line from comedian Flip Wilson that had become a catchphrase of cultural deflection and mock excuse.
