Description

An American map titled "A Modern Pilgrim's Map of the British Isles or More Precisely the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State." The map shows main railways, trunk roads, canals, cathedral towns, places with castles, abbeys, churches, places with historic sights, mansions, battlefields, lighthouses, wireless radio stations, racing centers, ancient monuments, American shrines, and other details. Several charts list the counties of England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. The border includes pictures of King George V, Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, among other people and places. This map is one of a set of maps that have been removed from an album titled "United States of America: United States Army Air Forces." Another note within the album read: "Prepared by Cartographic Branch, AC/AS-2 Intelligence."
