Map promoting German tourism acquired by Max and Irene Bray

Large map promoting regional tourism throughout Germany. The map was acquired by Max and Irene Bray, an American couple, in the mid 1930s. Max Bray, an optical scientist and pioneer of advanced optics, was being courted for employment in Germany at the time. The map was among other items left for the Brays in their hotel room. In later years, the Brays gifted the map to their friends and neighbors, the Connors family. Audrey Connors donated the map in the name of her teacher Paul Lowes, who drew on the map in his classroom when educating students about the period and the threat of Nazi fascism.
