Published in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, this striking, colorful WWII progress map focuses on developments in the Pacific theater. The map spans from Tibet to Brazil, centering roughly on Hawaii. Inset maps along the bottom of the map show India, the world on Mercator's projection, and the Atlantic route between Brazil and Africa. Events covered are current to January 1942, with the Japanese capture of Manila and the Third Battle of Changsha being the latest updates. On an otherwise colorful map, Axis powers are depicted in menacing black. Small flags identify the naval bases of various powers, and resources are indicated with little illustrations. Warplanes and battleships appear throughout the ocean. Printed by R.G. McLean Limited and produced by C.C. Petersen Advertising, both firms based in Toronto. This example includes the original wax paper envelope.
