A Pictorial History of Transport and Communications and the Paths to Permanent Peace. Lavishly illustrated with vignettes of structures, activities, animals, and modesof transportation.
A hopeful message of the world united in peace, created as World War II was drawing to a close. It bears an optimistic and humanistic message of social progress through technological advancement. Historic milestones in transportation and communications history are illustrated throughout. The legend surrounding the cartouche includes symbols for “organizations already at work on an international basis” and modes of travel and communication. These include religion; travel by land, sea and air; international mail, telephone, and telegraph; radio; The Red Cross; health organizations; drug control; standards of measurements; and “the great international businesses.” Messages of peace abound, including a drawing, center top, of flags of different nations with a rainbow and the slogan “Bound by a code of international friendship, law and order, united we stand -- divided we fall.” In addition to the more historically oriented illustrations are allegorical drawings such as one of several men on a globe-form sailboat emblazoned “World Unity,” with the caption “We are all in the same boat.” The map is executed on Mercator's projection with a decorative cartouche, the border with ornate corners decorated with cornucopias, one in the traditional manner overflowing with fruit and vegetables, the other overflowing with machine parts.
