This World of Ours Showing The New National Boundaries

This striking Art Deco pictorial map, This World of Ours: Showing the New National Boundaries, reflects the optimism of the United States in the late 1920s, a period marked by economic prosperity and the idealistic hope for a peaceful future following the end of World War I. The map features a prominent Biblical quotation from Isaiah beneath a white dove: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more," symbolizing a collective yearning for enduring global peace. Surrounding the map are the flags of 52 nations, with the United States flag notably positioned at the center top, signifying the nation's perceived role as a leader in the new world order. The inclusion of Germany's flag, notably placed just three flags to the left of the U.S., underscores the ongoing geopolitical shifts following the war.
