Europe. Rose (Fred W.), John Bull and his friends. A serio-comic map of Europe by Fred W. Rose. Author of "Angling in Troubled waters" &c. &c., G. W. Bacon & Co. Ltd., 1900, colour lithographic map, inset map of Europe, table of reference describing the state of each nation, old folds strengthened on verso, very slight browning to some folds, retaining original cardboard wrappers, 495 x 695 mm A highly pictorial political caricature map of the countries of Europe, dominated by the enormous octopus which is Russia; whose tentacles stretch out to all points of the compass and grasp hold of Persia, China, Poland, Scandanavia and the Balkans. France and Spain are are depicted as attractive women, while Germany, Italy and England are military commanders. 'Octopus maps' are a well used cartographic conceit but this is one of the boldest and most graphic of all of the allegorical maps showing Britain and her allies' determination to resist what were held to be Russia's overweening territorial ambitions. The map has an unnerving and striking prescience with the current unpredictability and reckless behaviour of the current embodiment of the Russian state. (1)

Spain & Portugal. Nantiat (Jaspar), A new Map of Spain and Portugal, Exhibiting the Chains of Mountains With their Passes The Principal & Cross Roads, With Other Details requisite for the Intelligence of Military Operations, William Faden, 1810, large engraved map with contemporary hand colouring, sectionalised and laid on linen, table of the distances from Madrid, table of explanation and an 'advertisement' explaining the topography, slight staining and offsetting, 1130 x 1570 mm, contained in a contemporary marbled card slipcase with publisher's label to upper board, some wear to extremities A large and detailed folding map, published during the Peninsular War. Probably because of the war Nantiat is most exercised with the borders between Spain and Portugal, especially the passes through which it was expected that Napoleon's army might come when the campaign season started in the spring. It is probable that Faden saw an opportunity to sell this detailed and large scale map to officers in Wellington's army in Portugal, with the idea that it could be used as a reference for the campaign. In July of 1810 - six months after the publication of the map - the French military commander, Marshal Mass‚na led an army of 65,000 troops into Portugal, pushing on towards Lisbon, but was held back by the Lines of Torres Vedras a set of earthworks that had been built on the orders of Wellington. The campaign - significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare - was eventually won by the British under the command of Lt. Gen. Sir Arthur Wellesley, later the 1st Duke of Wellington. It could be argued that the French defeat was sealed when Napoleon set out with a massive army on what proved to be the disastrous French invasion of Russia. This seriously depeleted the French forces with the result that a combined allied army under Wellesley pushed into Spain, defeating the French at Salamanca and taking Madrid. In the following year Wellington scored a decisive victory over King Joseph Bonaparte's army in the Battle of Vitoria. Pursued by the armies of Britain, Spain and Portugal, Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult, no longer able to get sufficient support from a depleted France, led the exhausted and demoralized French forces in a fighting withdrawal across the Pyrenees during the winter of 1813/1814. France, Napoleon and its European dominance would finally fall the following year at the battle of Waterloo. (1)
