Incredible advertisement for post-war travel from France to the Far East.
This is a 1954 Jacques Branger pictorial map advertising Messageries Maritimes' route through East Asia. The map depicts Asia from India to Japan and New Guinea and from Mongolia and Korea to extreme northern Australia. This map highlights the three newly-christened ships which serve the Indo-Chinese and Far East market, the Cambodge (French for Cambodia), the Laos, and the Viet-Nam. The month long voyages began at Marseille, and then called at Port Said and Aden (which are not on the map), then at Bombay, Colombo, Singapore, Saigon, Hong Kong, Kobe (only on the eastbound voyage), and Yokohama. Numerous vignettes decorate the map, including Angkor Wat, a woman in traditional Thai dress, a Chinese dragon, an elephant and a snake charmer in India, and a kangaroo in Australia. Depictions of the Cambodge, Laos, and Viet-Nam are also present.This map was designed by Jacques Branger and published by Messageries Maritimes in 1954.
