Large vintage school wall map – Pacific Ocean

Collection Jean-Brunhes (Hatier) (in the spirit of Vidal Lablache maps) Pacific Ocean – Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Frame Volcanic Belt of the Pacific – "Ring of Fire" Drawn by the geographer Camille Vallaux. Authentic poster, printed in France, produced between the 1940s and 1960s. Much more than an educational tool, this map is a true decorative and cultural object, combining scientific cartography, modernist aesthetics, and the maritime travel imagination typical of the mid-20th century. This map immediately impresses with: • its powerful colour palette. • the exceptional readability of currents, prevailing winds, and climatic zones. It fits perfectly into a Parisian or contemporary interior: Haussmannian apartment, loft, office, library, professional space, study. Camille Vallaux's General Maps of Oceans and Seas are now among the most sought-after French school maps, particularly in their laminated SERMAP version, which is significantly rarer than the cardboard editions. "Laminated, flexible, anti-reflective, tear-resistant, allowing chalk markings" This finish explains: • the very good colour retention. • durability over time. • the superior value of this model. • Width: 120 cm. • Height: 100 cm. An AI-generated image illustrates the potential rendering in a coherent decoration (but oversized). Authentic patina: • localized yellowing and browning. • visible fragilities and degradations around the eyelets (see photos) • Format incompatible with any standard shipping. • Hand delivery only. 🌍 America, Asia, Oceania, Australia, Siberia, Alaska, Antarctica.
