Aggiungi al carrelloVery good. Light wear along original fold lines. Size 21.5 x 29.75 Inches. This is a 1948 Blondel la Rougery and Imprimerie Gaillac-Monrocq pictorial map of Le Havre, France. Published within a few years of the end of World War II (1939 - 1945), this map acts more as a summary of all the history that was lost during the war than… as a practical guide to getting around the city. A Closer Look The map depicts central Le Havre with its port at the bottom. The city's churches, schools, theatres, city hall, railroad station, and military barracks are highlighted with profile illustrations, and orange text identifies each one. Orange text and color highlight government buildings, factories, schools, shops, hospitals, and numerous other locations throughout the city. Le Havre's 13 tram lines are highlighted as well. An extensive index of Le Havre's streets, docks, squares, bridges, and other locations frame the map on 3 sides. Rebuilding a City Before World War II, Le Havre was one of the biggest ports in Europe. During the war, Le Havre endured 132 Allied bombing raids that killed 5,000 people, injured as many as 80,000, and destroyed 12,500 buildings. The Hotel de Ville (City Hall), the Bourse (Stock Exchange), and the museum (all of which are highlighted here) were destroyed by the bombing campaign, along with the churches of Notre Dame and St. Michel. Thus, as this map was published in May 1948, it is more of a summary of what was lost during the war than a practical guide for getting around the city. Publication History and Census This map was created by Éditions Blondel la Rougery and published by the Imprimerie Gaillac-Monrocq in Paris in 1948. Blondel la Rougery began publishing editions of this map in 1890, with subsequent editions appearing in at least 1918 and 1924.

Aggiungi al carrelloVery Good. Some wear and verso reinforcement at original fold intersections and along edges. A few old blue pencil marks related to a voyage - cold be erased. Size 37.25 x 40.75 Inches. A spectacular c. 1920 large-scale chromolithograph map of the French Riviera by Blondel la Rougery. The map, a lavish production meant to highli…ght the Cannes region for tourists, was issued as part of the Syndicat d'Initiative de Cannes's ongoing and outrageously successful mission to turn the French Riviera into a playground for the elite. Its issue corresponds with the Rivera's, and specifically Cannes', emergence as a mecca for the intelligentsia, hosting Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Francis Picabia, and Jean Cocteau, among countless others. A Closer Look The map is drawn on a large scale with coverage embracing the Côte d'Azur from San Tropez to Ventimiglia (IT), including St. Raphaël, Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Menta, along with other smaller cities. Coverage extends inland towards the Alpes-Maritimes, to include the Var River valley as far as, roughly, Puget-Théniers and Annot. The map offers meticulous detail, illustrating roads and other transportation networks, forests, ruins, and mountains with subtle topographical shading. An inset in the lower right details Cannes, with important buildings, particularly hotels, highlighted in red. Monumental structures, including the Casino Municipal, churches, and the railway station, are illustrated pictorially. There is manuscript annotation in blue pencil by a previous owner recording travels through the region. Romanticizing the French Riviera In the 1920s, Cannes and the French Riviera emerged as glamorous destinations for the international elite, transforming from quaint coastal towns into vibrant hubs of luxury and leisure. The region attracted aristocrats, artists, and Hollywood stars who flocked to its sun-drenched shores, drawn by the stunning Mediterranean landscapes and the burgeoning social scene. Cannes, in particular, became synonymous with opulence, where grand hotels, such as the Carlton and the Martinez, hosted lavish parties and soirées. The French Riviera's allure was further immortalized in the works of authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald, who captured the era's spirit of excess and carefree indulgence, marking the 1920s as a golden age for this enchanting stretch of the French coastline. Much of the work in romanticizing the French Riviera was accomplished by its stunning natural beauty; the rest can be attributed to the sponsor of this map, the Syndicat d'Initiative de Cannes (SIC; 1894 - present). The SIC played a pivotal role in transforming Cannes into a world-renowned tourist destination. Originally founded to promote Cannes and its surrounding areas, the SIC was part of a broader movement in France aimed at developing local tourism through organized efforts. This organization was responsible for enhancing the city's appeal to visitors by improving infrastructure, promoting cultural events, and offering information services to tourists. The organization's efforts were instrumental in establishing Cannes as a premier destination on the French Riviera, particularly during the Interwar Period. The SIC also contributed to the city's cultural identity by supporting events such as the Cannes Film Festival, which further cemented the city's status as a glamorous and culturally rich location. Chromolithography Chromolithography, sometimes called oleography, is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process uses multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Generally, a chromolithograph begins with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors are layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired effect. Chromolithograph color can be blended for even more dramatic results. The process became extremely popular in the late 19th and early.

Aggiungi al carrelloGood. Dissected and mounted on linen in 32 panels. Old tape residue on verso. Areas of scuffing to corners and in top and bottom edges in printed title and copyright. Size 29.25 x 39.5 Inches. This is a c. 1942 Editions Blondel la Rougery city plan or map of Paris, France. The map illustrates Paris during the World War II (1939…- 1945) Nazi occupation. The name on the back, Capt. Franklin G. Fischrist (or possibly Tischrist), suggests it was used by an English or American officer after the war. A Closer Look Depicting Paris from the Seine east to the Chateau de Vincennes and from St. Ouen south to Gentilly, Ivry, and Montrouge, buildings throughout Paris are illustrated and shaded orange. These structures range from monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, and the Louvre to train stations, hospitals, and schools. The Jardin des Tuileries, the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Jardin des Plantes, the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, the Bois de Boulogne, and the Bois de Vincennes appear as open green spaces. Streets, roads, and alleys are labeled. The Paris Métro appears as bold blue lines, with blue text and numbers marking each stop. We have dated this map using the Paris Métro based on the extent of construction. An Unknown Provenance On the verso, Captain Franklin G. Tischrist (sp?) signed just above the Editions Blondel la Rougery bookplate. Unfortunately, we have been unable to trace this Captain, making it impossible to know his story. Publication History and Census This map was published between July 1939, when Métro Line 10 was extended to the Gare d'Austerlitz (not explicitly labeled here, but the extension is printed) and October 1942, when Métro Line 8 was extended from Porte de Charenton to Charenton-Écoles, which appears here as a dashed line indicating that it remains under construction. We have been unable to locate any other verifiable examples of the present edition. Blondel la Rougery published numerous editions of this map beginning as early as 1916 using the same title, making differentiating challenging. Nonetheless, we note an example of the 1944 edition with the Line 8 extension illustrated as a solid blue line at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Signed by Author(s).

Aggiungi al carrelloVery good. Light foxing in left margin. Other minor imperfections, mostly confined to margins. Size 27 x 42.5 Inches. A large, scarce 1965 Blondel La Rougery bathymetric pictorial map of the Mediterranean Sea celebrating the nascent scuba craze and detailing regional diving schools and sites. A Closer Look Coverage embraces the…Mediterranean Basin. Color shading indicates sea depth, while more detailed soundings are provided near coastlines. Diving schools, including those managed by the Club Méditerranée (Club Med), are noted, along with locations of the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques and agents of La Spirotechnique, a division of the firm Air Liquide, which sold regulators and other diving equipment, including a revolutionary regulator co-designed by Jacques Cousteau. Finally, the locations of ancient and modern shipwrecks are marked. Surrounding the map are illustrations of sea creatures, shipwrecks, and marine flora. Making Diving Accessible Prior to World War II (1939 - 1945), diving was very difficult and highly dangerous, hardly the stuff for tourists and casual swimmers. But new inventions (such as the Cousteau-Gagnan regulator) and savvy businesses made the sport more accessible in the postwar period. Diving took off on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1950s, and by the 1960s, it had become an established subculture within the world of maritime sport and recreation. Publication History and Census This map was drawn and published by the firm Blondel La Rougery in 1965, with assistance from Studio P.I.T. This is the only known example in private hands. We note one institutional holding at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. References: OCLC 495070583.
