This is an original antique wall map poster showing WWI battlefronts of Europe issued as an advertising piece by the Farmer Seed & Nursery Company of Fairbault, Minnesota.    A large map of the Western Front shows the farthest advance of the German armies achieved in September 1915 along with the current line of contact which shows the German armies pushed back all along the front.  Another smaller map shows the Italian-Austro-Hungarian Battle Front.   The upper left corner is printed with the title THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY Where OUR BOYS are Making History and just below the title is printed Everybody who plants “Sure Crop Seeds” lays the foundation for the best garden possible.  FARMER SEED & NURSERY CO. FAIRBAULT, MINNESOTA.   The lower margin indicates the map was created by Rand McNally & Co. of Chicago.  

This map was issued folded and is printed one side only.   The map shows light handling wear and modest toning from age and is free of any tape or pinholes.  Overall condition is very good.
