Description

Very attractive engraving comparing the elevations of the major mountains of the world and the lengths of the major rivers of the world. The work also shows the elevations of important cities and other features, such as mountain passes.

Over one hundred mountains are shown, with various additional features such as their snowlines and volcanic activities noted. The shape of rivers, and their headlands are shown. Text around the map provides information on additional features, such as the heights of the tallest buildings in the world and the tallest waterfalls.

In all, this is a wonderfully colored example of this very informative engraving.

(Cold War - Soviet Aircraft Identification) IL-12

Prepared by the Ministry of Supply in 1951, this poster provides images and data of the Soviet-made Ilyushin IL-12 twin-engine aircraft. The dominant rendering shows "Аэрофлот" or Aeroflot on the front fuselage and "СССР-Л1701," on the back fuselage, its registration number, matching an Il-12 seen at the Poznan fair in 1948. The Il-12 was widely exported and used as passenger aircraft and military transport. In its most common use as a mid- and short-haul passenger aircraft, it even served a few European destinations outside the Iron Curtain, such as Vienna, Stockholm, and Paris.
