WWII US Army Italy Topographic Maps
This lot comprises three World War II era United States Army topographic maps of Italy, dated 1943 and 1944. These maps are detailed cartographic records, printed by the Army Map Service, Washington D.C., and are designed for military use during the Italian campaign. Each map covers a specific region of Italy, displaying terrain features, roads, railways, and other strategic information essential for troop movement and operations. The maps feature a grid reference system, a comprehensive legend detailing various symbols, and are printed on a durable, foldable paper stock.
Condition and Collectibility
These maps exhibit signs of age and use consistent with their wartime origin. They show creases from folding, some minor tears, and slight discoloration due to handling and storage. Despite these imperfections, the maps remain remarkably legible and retain their historical integrity. These maps are highly sought after by military historians, map collectors, and those interested in the Second World War, offering a fascinating glimpse into the planning and execution of the Italian campaign.
