Drawn in 1949. Double-sided. Printed in February, 1950, Fortune magazine. Oblique view with shaded relief. color. "Richard Edes Harrison's innovative maps of the 1940s are critical to the history of American cartography. His techniques defied convention and created a new standard for the look and shape of the world on a map. Harrison designed the maps to be both visually appealing and politically charged, reflecting the urgently of the war while also maintaining the elegant artistic dimension." (Schulten 1996).
