This print titled "A General Map of Belgium, Indicating the Fortified Towns, 1919" offers a glimpse into the aftermath of the First World War. The map, originally featured in W. Stanley Macbean Knight's book "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects" provides an intricate overview of Belgium during this tumultuous period. With vibrant colors and precise detailing, this historical artifact showcases not only the geographical landscape but also highlights significant fortified towns that played a crucial role in the war. From Brussels to Luxembourg, each location marked on this map represents a theater of war where intense fighting took place. As we examine this piece closely, it becomes apparent that transportation was vital during these times.
