Artist/engraver/cartographer: John Bartholomew . Provenance: "The Citizen's Atlas of the World"; Edited by John Bartholomew, Published by John Bartholomew, Edinburgh; Fourth Edition. Type: Vintage colour map; Scale 1:2,000,000. This map was originally printed on two separate sheets which have been joined together to form a single map. The Territory of the Saar Basin (French: Le Territoire du Bassin de la Sarre; German: Saarbeckengebiet ), also referred as the Saar or Saargebiet, was a region of Germany occupied and governed by the United Kingdom and France from 1920 to 1935 under a League of Nations mandate. Initially, the occupation was under the auspices of the Treaty of Versailles. Its population in 1933 was 812,000, and its capital was Saarbrücken. The Territory closely corresponds with the modern German state of Saarland, but was slightly smaller in area. After a plebiscite was held in 1935, it was restored to Germany.
