Description

Curious map centered German published map which appears to be some sort of Celestial model, but it untitled.

 A raised 1/8" dot pattern is employed, but we have not been able to translate.

After the success of Marburg University ophthalmologist Alfred Bielschowsky's courses in 1915, The Marburger Blindenstudienanstalt (or Deutsche Blindenstudienanstalt) was founded in 1916 for the many returning soldiers who were left partially or completely blind from shrapnel or the large-scale use of chemical weapons in World War I.
