While on the subject, I find peculiar how prints of these personified maps get more and more scant as we approach WWII. To put it into perspective, I have found just two revolving around WWII but there exist dozens of them being made before the end of WWI.
It's as if people were so eager to goad their countries into war that they felt compelled to celebrate this event somehow.

look at Switzerland, I like how it's just some guy, relaxing away.
Hell, one of the maps just had it drawn as part of the ocean.
