Description
This is a 1958 La Revue Francaise pictorial map of Martinique. Pictorial vignettes populate the map, highlighting the island's beautiful forests, rich agriculture, and other tropical charms. Cities and towns are identified, including Fort-de-France, Basse-Pointe, and Grand Rivière. One of Christopher Columbus's ships appears off the coast of Carbet, while the birthplace of Empress Josephine is marked not far from Trois-Ilets. Steam ships and airplanes reinforce the island's accessibility, while people waterskiing, kayaking, and spearfishing underscore the island as a vacation destination.
