Description
Late WWII propaganda poster map, published by the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The poster shows a large map of Poland, highlighting the commerce of various regions and locating major cities, superimposed above a map of Europe, with Poland and its center. Along the sides are further facts about Poland's population, railways, highways, ports, and major agricultural output, mineral wealth and manufactured goods.
The map highlights post-war future for Poland, noting:
The New Poland will play a Central role in post-war Europe. A country with important industries, she looks East and West. Her communications system by air, land and sea, links Eastern Trade with the West and the Balkans with Scandinavia. And now, a modern industrial democracy has replaced the backward pre-war political system.
