PAIR of WW1 AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN Maps of MORAVIA entitled "BRUNN" & "LUNDENBURG"

Description: Original PAIR of WW1 AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN military maps of MORAVIA entitled "BRUNN" & "LUNDENBURG". (The maps have been mounted on a linen backing as a single 'composite' sheet, and once formed part of the private collection of ALAN GRANT OGILVIE - see below for further details). Produced in 1914 by the Austro-Hungarian military mapping services - "K.u.k. Militargeographisches Institut". At the time the maps were produced, the territory covered was already under the control of Austria-Hungary, but most of it now forms part of the Czech Republic, including a stretch of its borders with Slovakia and Austria . Some evidence of slight margin trimming with no significant loss to the original content. This was almost certainly done when the maps were joined and the linen backing was applied. The sheet is therefore in great condition and has never been folded. Bears the stamp of "A.G.OGILVIE" in the top margin. Professor ALAN GRANT OGILVIE was an eminent geographer whose service with the Royal Field Artillery in WW1 led him to transfer to the Royal Engineers for the purpose of mapping the Dardanelles and the Macedonian Front. Clearly, this involved privileged access to a steady stream of captured enemy maps. His military service in Salonika, France and the Dardanelles saw him mentioned in dispatches, and in 1919 he attended the Paris Peace Conference representing the British delegation in respect to international boundary settlements. Following WW1 he resumed his academic career, rising to head Edinburgh University's Geography Department, still finding time to become a Captain in the Home Guard during WW2. He died 'in post' in 1953, and it would appear that his private collection was bequeathed to the University. His maps were clearly his 'working tools' and he had good access to a range of captured enemy maps as part of his work. This composite map comes from a much wider collection recently sold off by Edinburgh University. Will be shipped rolled in a stout cardboard tube. Please see my other WW1 (and WW2) maps, documents, photos etc. PLEASE NOTE - Following BREXIT, items exported from the UK to EU countries now incur import tariffs..
