Daily Mail 1917 World Map of War and Commerce

Published in 1917 by George Philip & Son for the Daily Mail newspaper, this remarkable map is as much an infographic as it is a map — packed with comparative charts on naval strength, army sizes, foreign trade, food supplies, coal and petroleum reserves, and shipping losses across the WWI belligerent powers, framing the war as a contest of empires and industrial capacity as much as armies. It's a genuinely fascinating window into how a British newspaper explained the war's global stakes to its readers in real time, color-coded by empire (British, French, Russian, German) across the full world map above.

Restored from the archival scan, preserving the original soft pink, yellow, and sage palette.
