This is a 1954 Hervé Baille pictorial map of the world tracing voyages by French warships. Fancifully illustrated, cartoonish animals, including penguins, seals, walruses, whales, and polar bears, draw the viewer's attention, as do illustrations of a bison and an otter in North America, a giraffe and an elephant in Africa, a kangaroo in Australia, and wolves and a yak in Asia. Sharks and several different species of marine life populate the seas. (more details)
