Old political map Ancient Continent — USSR, Africa, Middle East

Authentic old political map of the Old Continent, a historical document of exceptional value. It represents the world as it was politically organised at a pivotal time — with the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) dominating the East, colonial empires still present in Africa (French Equatorial Africa, British territories…), and the borders of a Middle East in the process of definition. The wealth of information is remarkable: national borders, colonies and protectorates, maritime and land routes, population densities — all represented with precision and a colour palette characteristic of the great atlases of the time. The trilingual legends — French, English, and Spanish — confirm the prestige of this international edition. A unique historical document, a living testimony of a vanished world, equally fascinating for historians and appealing to vintage decor enthusiasts and collectors of old maps. Condition: Very good state of preservation — the colours remain bright and contrasting, the map has an immediate visual presence. Delivery: The map will be carefully protected and packaged with the utmost care to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Available for free collection in Paris and Lyon.
