This is a 1951 Jacques Liozu pictorial map of Paris. The map depicts the region from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean and from Mongolia to Indonesia. Charmingly illustrated, countries throughout are illustrated, labeled, and shaded different colors to allow for easy differentiation. French Indochina, which would only last for another few years, and East Pakistan, which became Bangladesh in 1971, are both labeled.Sstereotypical caricatures of the local inhabitants, many with overtly racist overtones, highlight cultural differences and European perspectives of the exotic Orient. An Indian is illustrated riding a brilliantly adorned elephant next to a snake charmer. Someone from Saudi Arabia is shown trying to move an obstinate camel, while another person in China is seen doing the exact same thing. A Persian is depicted riding on a flying carpet and a white tourist in Southeast Asia is scared out of their mind by a wild tiger. The whole is surrounded by a border that includes illustrations of the national flags of Asian countries. (more details)

This is a 1951 Jacques Liozu pictorial map of North and Central America. Populated by pictorial vignettes, the piece presents conflicting impressions of society in North America. Canada and Alaska, of course, are characterized by the cold weather and feature an ice fisherman, a dogsled team, and a hunter wearing a fur-lined coat and snowshoes. In the United States, a Native American chief is illustrated sitting next to a teepee with a bison snorting behind it, while a man smoking a cigar leans against a skyscraper in New York City. A movie director is behind a camera in California, while a horse bucks off a cowboy somewhere in Texas. A woman in a bikini dips her toes in the Atlantic off the coast of Florida next to a stereotypically racist cartoon of a black man lifting a bale of cotton near New Orleans. In the West Indies, several of the islands are identified, and a local is illustrated sitting next to a palm tree playing a guitar. Two figures represent Mexico: one, dressed in a sombrero, has his back to the viewer, while the other is taking a siesta under a tree. North American plant and animal life encircle the title cartouche, with cacti and pine trees illustrated next to a coyote, pelican, beaver, moose, and squirrel. (more details)
