EDITORS COMMENTS
This and historically significant print depicts Moran's War Map, meticulously colored to illustrate the political landscape of Europe at the onset of the First World War. Created by E Moran and Sons Limited in Sunderland, this map was once in the possession of Private J Harrison (4308) of the 3rd Division British Expeditionary Force. The vibrant hues distinguish the territories of Britain and her Allies, including France, Belgium, and Russia, from those of their adversaries, Germany and Austria-Hungary, as well as the neutral nations such as Switzerland and the Netherlands. The map is annotated with key events that transpired between July 23 and August 12, 1914, leading up to the outbreak of war. These notations include the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, the declaration of war by Germany against Russia, and the subsequent mobilization of the British and French armies. This remarkable artifact offers a unique glimpse into the geopolitical situation of Europe on the brink of war, providing valuable context to the historical events that unfolded during this tumultuous period. The intricate details and meticulous coloring of the map serve as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Moran and Sons Limited, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on World War One or the history of cartography.
