(gefaltet: ca. 23,5 x 28,8 cm / entfaltet: ca. 82,5 x 94 cm). 1 Karte im Grossformat. Original-Karte mit illustriertem Deckeltitel (Wappen des Bezirks Steglitz), beidseitig bedruckt. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren, wohlerhalten. Insgesamt guter Zustand. Die interessante Publikation wurde höchstwahrscheinlich zum Einzug des Bezirksamts Steglitz in das nach langer Verzögerung fertiggestellte neue Hochhaus (der sogenannte Steglitzer "Kreisel") zu Jahresbeginn 1980 herausgegeben. Auseinandergefaltet hat die Kartenpublikation ein Maß von etwa 82,5 x 94 cm. Sie enthält eingangs einen einführenden Text zur Geschichte von Steglitz bis zum Jahr 1980. Es folgt eine sehr detaillierte Aufschlüsselung über die einzelnen Abteilungen des Bezirksamts und ihren jeweiligen Ort im Hochhaus. Sehr interessant ist auch die Rückseite der entfalteten Publikation: diese zeigt insgesamt vier Karten (schwarz/weiss) zum Bezirk Steglitz zu den verschiedenen Zeitpunkten: 1850 / 1890 / 1907 / 1927. Jede der Karten nimmt dabei etwa ein Viertel der Gesamtfläche ein. Seltene Berliner Archivalie rund um das hoch diskutierte Gebäude!
(ca. 55 x 41 cm). 1 ausfaltbare Karte. Zweifach gefaltete Karte (schwarz/weiss) mit Titel oberhalb der Kartenansicht. Karte ganz leicht rissig an den Faltlinien, rückseitig mit Bleistiftnotaten. Insgesamt gut bis sehr gut erhalten. Die Karte wurde zwischen Herbst 1938 und Sommer 1939 vom NSDAP-Zeitungsorgan "Völkischen Beobachter" herausgegeben. Sie zeigt die Republik Polen in den Grenzen der Vorkriegszeit, also noch vor der Teilung durch Sowjetunion und dem Deutschen Reich. Zu Polen gehörte zu dieser Zeit beispielsweise noch die bedeutende Stadt Lemberg (heute in der Ukraine). Das Deutsche Reich war hier bereits um Österreich erweitert, Wien liegt innerhalb der Landesgrenzen. Sehr wahrscheinlich diente die Karte der Kriegsvorbereitung mit publizistischen Mitteln. Sehr seltenes Relikt der NS-Propaganda kurz vor Kriegsbeginn!

286 pages. Footnotes. Index. Black and white illustrations. "Set against the backdrop of northern lights and barren lands, the story of Ted Nagle's life is rich in anecdote, adventure and intrigue. Born in Hay River in 1898, the son of a free trader, Nagle became a key player in the race to own the north's vast mineral resources. As he moved forward by canoe, on foot, and then by bush plane, Nagle recorded the personalities and events he found 'down to north'. His careful observations reflect the natural and social history north of 60 degrees in the first third of the twentieth century." - from dust jacket.
