This sounds like a wonderful map for any teaching set of examples of the good
the bad and the just-plain-curious in cartography; and I suspect that quite a
few people might be interested in getting hold of copies.
 
Just a thought but, given the publication date (1920s) it is presumably way
past any copyright cut-off dates. Would there be any chance of some nice
charitable and generous person out there scanning a copy of this map and
putting it on the Web and/or an ftp site, in TIFF, GIF or any other suitable
format for us in distant lands to download if so inclined?
 
Possibly not, but I thought I would ask anyway....
