(Thematic - Literature) Karte Des Bucher Landes, Woelfe, c. 1938
It's a thematic format that had been used for topics like love, marriage and more, here Woelfe puts his spin on the terrain of literature, from the wisdom in the high mountains to the peninsula of poetry. Interestingly to see that west of the "United Book trading State" is a "Verbotene Provinz" (Forbidden Province). An inset shows the city plan of "Officina" which is full of literary points of interest from publishing, to Readers Ramparts, to the Poet's House. If we consider that books were considered the method for transmitting knowledge, ideas and experience, this map takes on a whole new power as a realm of greatest human value. Condition is very good with some even age toning to the entire sheet. Image size is approximately 14 x 10 (inches)
