Old map of Major Global Industries — Polar projection

Original map plate, printed in France. World map of major industries represented in double polar projection — a rare and graphically strong layout that places the northern hemisphere at the centre, revealing global industrial concentrations from an unusual angle. Steel, oil, cotton, rubber, automobiles, rayon — the major industrial sectors of the time are precisely located, dominated by the USA, the USSR, and Great Britain. A document witnessing a pre-Cold War industrial world, with balances that have since disappeared. Trilingual legends (French, English, Spanish). A very beautiful graphic piece, effective when framed. Condition: very good, colours well preserved, slight signs of age-related wear. Careful and protected delivery, or free collection in Paris and Lyon.
