Old industrial map of Asia, Africa & South America

Original map sheet, printed in France. Four industrial maps side by side covering Asia, Africa, and South America — industries A (mining, metallurgy) and industries B (textiles, processing) — allowing for a rare comparative reading of the industrial basins of these continents in the mid-20th century. A dense and precise document, a testament to the global economic geography before the major changes of decolonisation. A graphically understated and effective piece, ideal for framing in an office or library. Trilingual legends (French, English, Spanish). Condition: very good, colours well preserved, slight signs of age-related wear. Careful and protected delivery, or free collection in Paris and Lyon.
