[Printer's Block of the Eastern Hemisphere] - Interesting postwar printer's block of the Eastern Hemisphere.

Descripción

This large metal and wooden printer's block of the Eastern Hemisphere was created around 1948; based on the national borders presented, the nomenclature used for Pakistan (est. 1947) and Israel (est. 1948), and the absence of a partitioned Germany (1949). The resulting political map, clearly defining a postwar world, labels nations, major cities, and prominent geographic features. Colonial claims still accompany many of the toponyms, especially throughout Africa and the remote Pacific islands. Ambiguous coastlines near the bottom reflect large portions of an unexplored Antarctic continent Sheet Width (in) 9.3 Sheet Height (in) 9.3 Condition Description Metal (probably zinc) printer's block affixed with nails to three strips of blackened wood on the verso. The right strip is a bit loose, but still securely attached. Irregular trimmed edges and some soiling and calcification that affects the surface, most evident in the upper right. Good to very good condition overall.
