Description

original-colour lithograph, title printed on verso, RARE.

Detailed and vivid giant map of the Pacific Ocean and adjacent continents. It provides a comprehensive overview of the geopolitical situation in the late 1930’s, just before the outbreak of WW II in the Pacific, showing Manchuria and Korea still under Japanese rule. Many regional transportation routes are shown, so are political borders with their countries and colonies, marked in different colours and mandates outlined in red. 71 places, islands, and atolls are shown as detailed insets.

Herbert Edward Cooper Robinson (1857 – 1933) was a founder of the (Royal) Geographical Society of Australasia in 1885, a member of the Geographical Society of New South Wales in the late 1920s and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London. He made many valuable contributions to geographical science and was a delegate to the 1923 Sydney Regional Plan Convention. A friend and technical collaborator of Professor Sir Edgeworth David, he helped to produce David’s monumental large-scale Geological Map of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1932. 1917 H. E. C. Robinson Ltd was officially incorporated.
