(World-Empire)The Commonwealth of Nations, or the British Empire Title Pages A beautiful mid-19th century woodblockThe Commonwealth of Nations Or the British Empire Issued for the coronations of King George VI, this is the British Empire at its proud apex. Perhaps the most ornate map we've had for the empire, it's surrounded with a golden decorative cartouche and two quotes espousing the Empire's invincibility and power of endurance.
