This is a 1939 Lucien Boucher Air France pictorial map of the world on the eve of World War II. Created during an era when air travel was still relatively new, Boucher contrasts earlier modes of transportation with aviation. People from around the world travel via carriage, on horseback, and foot, and rarely venture far from their homes. Boucher's map traces Air France's routes across Europe, Africa, South America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, from Paris to Hong Kong, highlighting the 'ease' with which travelers could visit parts of the world that had previously felt inaccessible. The colorful vignettes of ships dotted across the world's oceans provide an even starker contrast, mainly when set against the massive silhouette of an airplane along the top border. (more details)
