Description: Full color. Supplement to Fortune (Magazine) June 1942. Richard Edes Harrison's innovative maps of the 1940s, illustrating information and facts about the war that are critical to the history of American cartography. Shows neutral areas and Allies, pro Ally and Axis and pro Axis occupied areas. Includes text, diagrams, and legend. Orthographic Projection. This may employs a fascinating orthographic projection, which Harrison notes on the map: "is the most nearly pictorial of all formal projections... its infinite viewpoint makes it possible to show a full hemisphere... it has been neglected as a serious map because of its extreme variation in scale and because only half of the world can be shown at one time. however, these faults can be forgiven because of its graphic delineation of the sphere.
