The beggars are coming to town
Some in rags and some in jags
And one in a velvet gown

Karte von Europa im Jahre 1914
England hides its fleet under the skirt of home, the dog Ireland is at its back.
King Oskar of Sweden looks “intently” at Russia.
France bravely retreats, while Spain devotes itself to sweet “idleness.”
Belgium – already has!
All the above maps were spliced together from screencaps. They were obtained from the University of Amsterdam website where you can zoom in to high magnification. [via Briefe an Konrad]
