'Northern Ireland'
A beautifully illustrated and highly decorative map of Northern Ireland by Ernest Clegg, celebrating the province's heritage, its contributions during World War II, and its deep cultural and military ties to the United States and Canada. The map depicts Northern Ireland's six counties, featuring inset images of Stormont and Caledon House. Text panels highlight notable figures of Ulster descent, including 13 U.S. Presidents, several authors, composers, and five British Field Marshals, underscoring Northern Ireland's global influence through its diaspora. Additional panels detail the significant American military presence in Ulster during the war, as well as the province's vital role in wartime production of food, munitions, and supplies. The map also identifies the primary agricultural regions for key products, while a note commemorates the Catalina aircraft from RAF Lough Erne that first spotted the Bismarck. A quote from Winston Churchill acknowledges Northern Ireland's loyalty and critical contributions to the United Kingdom during the conflict. Dedicated to Sir Basil Brooke, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, the map was created as part of a series to raise funds for the Women's Land Army, blending artistic detail with historical narrative.
