A reference of typical island
landforms & views for artists and
writers.
Babelthuap Island is a large island with nearby smaller islands,
part of the Palau group
of the Caroline Islands in the Japanese Mandate. These were German
colonies
until they were occupied by the Japanese during the First World War.
These drawings were done by an uncredited British artist in the early
1940s
working from German source material (photos or
drawings?) from 1917 and 1919.
