Description
Amusing satirical map of Europe designed by Portuguese illustrator Carlos Ribeiro & published in Lisbon in 1940. It is one of the few anti-Nazi propaganda maps of this satirical & anthropomorphic genre to be published during the Second World War. Germany is depicted in the familiar trope of a malevolent acquisitive octopus whilst the ferocious British leopard advances into battle with rifle at the ready & traditional umbrella strapped to his pack. The mightly Russian Bear - at this point still an ally of Germany - has suffered a bloodied nose in Finland and had its paws equally bloodied & battered by the Poles along the Eastern Front.
