Description
Extremely rare Army Slang map, designed and published by Ernest Dudley Chase in 1943, in collaboration with artist Stephen York.
The map depicts an American Eagle, surrounded inside and out with vignettes illustrating Army Slang. This is one of two maps designed and published by Chase, in conjunction with the artist Stephen York, the other being A Pictorial Map of Loveland.
In a biographical pamphlet on Chase published toward the end of World War II, author Tim Thrift asserts that Chase's battle maps had helped the American public follow the war as it unfolded.
