This is one of the earliest series of silk or rayon escape maps produced by Bartholomew of Edinburgh on behalf of the MI 9, heat-treated to prevent the cloth from unravelling; covering the border region between Austria, Italy and Yugoslavia, the present map provides a detailed itinerary between Oflag VIIIc in Spittal, Austria and the city of Mojstrana, present-day Slovenia.
The inset visible in the upper right corner gives a wider view of the area (scale 1:350,000), on which appears a rough version of the complete itinerary from Oflag VIIc in Salzburg, Austria.
Excellent overall condition.
