Pictures by Lilian Lancaster
Lilian Lancaster's 1868 map caricature turns Germany into a lady sweeping across the page in a grey gown, red shawl and bonnet, with towns and rivers still marked around her. It comes from Geographical Fun, a book that drew each country of Europe as a character so children could remember their maps. For someone with German roots, a traveler or a lover of old maps.
