Onward Roads to Rome: A Panoramic View of the Spectacular Advances during the Second World War by G.H. Davis This print, titled "Onward Roads to Rome," is a panoramic map created by renowned cartographer G.H. Davis in 1944. The map offers a breathtaking view of the terrain leading to Rome, Italy, during the Second World War. The image covers the Liri Valley and Pontine Marshes, highlighting the main highways that led Allied forces towards the Italian capital city. The map's title, "Onward Roads to Rome," reflects the determination and resilience of the Allied forces as they advanced through the mountainous terrain. The rugged, mountainous landscape is depicted in meticulous detail, with the Tyrrhenian Sea visible in the background. The map's historical significance lies in its representation of the strategic importance of the Liri Valley and Pontine Marshes during the war. The Liri Valley, located in central Italy, was a crucial battleground during the Italian Campaign of World War II. The Allied forces, led by the United States and Great Britain, faced significant resistance from the German army as they attempted to advance towards Rome. The Pontine Marshes, a vast, swampy area south of Rome, also posed challenges for the Allied forces due to the difficult terrain and the presence of German defenses. Despite these challenges, the Allied forces made significant advances, and Rome was liberated on June 4, 1944. This map serves as a testament to the determination and perseverance of the Allied forces during the Italian Campaign and the spectacular terrain they traversed to reach the Eternal City.
