Northern Ireland Map WWII Ernest Clegg

Original vintage post-World War Two map poster of Northern Ireland featuring a colourful design by Ernest Costain Clegg (1876-1954) of the counties of Fermanagh, Tyrone, Londonderry, Antrim, Down and Armagh with illustrations of the Parliament Buildings Stormont and Caledon House the Ancestral Home of Field Marshal Viscount Alexander with a list of famous people born in Northern Ireland including composers, authors and scientists as well as diplomatic, clerical and political people, notes on the American arrival in the City of Belfast in 1942 and greatest gathering of American ships in a British port in 1942, the Lough Erne RAF base and first American-Canadian naval base in the City of Londonderry at the Derry Naval Base, the Presidents of the United States of America of Ulster Lineage and information on British farms, agriculture and food including flax, ryegrass seed, potatoes, dairy, poultry, orchards, tomatoes, oats, cattle and horses, and a quote by Winston Churchill dated 6 May 1943 - Only one great channel of entry remained open because loyal Ulster gave us the full use of the Northern Irish ports and waters, and thus ensured the free working of the Clyde and the Mersey. But for the loyalty of Northern Ireland and its devotion to what has now become the cause of thirty Governments or nations, we should have been confronted with slavery and death, and the light which now shines so strongly throughout the world would have been quenched. The bonds of affection between Great Britain and the people of Northern Ireland have been tempered by fire and are now, I firmly believe, unbreakable - with insignias and coats of arms and images of battleships at sea and planes flying over the coast, roads, castles, trees, rivers and a Scale of Miles at the bottom.
