Bajo la Zarpa Británica. Breve Historia del Militarismo Inglés.
German, F. Haase, c.1914. Lithograph with letterpress, Sheet 810 x 1120mm.

Original folds with some reinforcements on verso.

A German propaganda map from the First World War for dissemination in Spain, a neutral country during the conflict. It shows the British Empire in red, with the countries linked with slave chains.
