195 - “Map of Dacia and Present-Day Romania,” with the artist’s handwritten signature, engineer Grigore Bejan, ca. 1920, “The School Map of Dacia and Present-Day Romania” was created in 1920 by the officer and engineer Grigore Bejan and printed by the Army’s Geographical Service for educational use in schools. The map combines elements of physical and economic geography. The territory of Greater Romania is shown superimposed over that of ancient Dacia, illustrating the idea of Romanian continuity in this region and its historical legitimacy. Visually, the upper section is decorated with portraits of King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie, alongside the royal coat of arms framed by the tricolour; the lower section features illustrations of the principal weapons of the Romanian Army. The document also bears the handwritten signature of the map’s creator, engineer Grigore Bejan, a fairly rare feature. To date, only one other signed example is known, held in the collection of the National Museum of Maps and Old Books, 78 x 95
