This is a 1953 Chris Jenkyns pictorial map of Europe drawn to promote continental travel by solo-women adventurers. Published for a series of essays on solo female travel edited by Eugene Fodor. As this was published at the height of the Cold War, only countries in western Europe and Scandinavia are included. The whole is populated by images of women enjoying a multidue of adventures, as well as a fair amount of shopping and romancing the locals. Although perhaps quaint to our eye today, the map was progressive in its time, encouraging single women to boldly adventure through a continent still recovering from the ravages of WWII.
