Old map of air routes — Ancient Continent

Original map plate, printed in France. Counterpart to the map of air routes of the New World — together they form an exceptional document on the history of global commercial aviation. Air routes marked in red on a grey relief background — a sober and striking graphic composition. The European hubs (London, Paris, Rome) radiate towards Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, reflecting the golden age of early intercontinental connections. Trilingual legends (French, English, Spanish). Very decorative framed. Condition: very good, sharp contrasts, slight signs of wear due to age. Careful and protected delivery, or free collection in Paris and Lyon.
