| Item Description: | Relief shown pictorially. "This map was likely drawn in the context of Teilhet's most important novel, the 1934 The Talking Sparrow Murders. The novel took place in Heidelberg, where Teilhet lived in 1928 and 1929. It communicates Teihet's horror at the crimes being committed against the Jewish people under Adolf Hitler, and also sadness for Germany itself, in particular Heidelberg, which he loved, but felt was losing its own history to singleminded fascism. Teilheit highlights historic events in Heidelberg's history, as well as the city's funicular, post office, and main streets." --vendor's description "The map was drawn by Teilhet and engraved by J . Hörning of Heidelberg's University Press. It was engraved onto multiple wooden plates which were then assembled, printed, and overprinted in red and yellow." --vendor's description Map oriented with South at top. Text, illustrations, and advertisments on verso. Indexed to show points of interest. The Cushing Library/Science Fiction copy is part of the Maps of Imaginary Places Collection. |
