Track James Bond around the world as he spies in Ian Fleming's novels.
This is a 1987 John Zeleznik and Susan Lewis pictorial map of the world highlighting locations in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. A generic portrait of James Bond (that admittedly bears a striking resemblance to Sean Connery) dominates the sheet. A portrait of a 'Bond Girl' wearing sparkling diamonds and holding an open bottle of champagne appears as well. An Aston Martin appears in the lower left, while a Japanese inspired temple occupies the upper right. The entire map is superimposed on a gigantic Union Jack meant to illustrate the Earth. Crosshairs mark 117 locations in North America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia. Each location corresponds with a numerical index at the bottom of the map. Locations within the index are divided by novel, which are listed in chronological order from Casino Royale (1953) through Octopussy (1965). Each book's title appears in bold red capital letters, and the locations, cars, drinks, villains, women, and guns that appear in each book are listed. Completing the Bond aesthetic, the index is superimposed over illustrations of lounging women. (more details)

The entire map is superimposed on a gigantic Union Jack meant to illustrate the global reach of British intelligence. Crosshairs mark 117 locations corresponding to an index that further breaks sites down by novel and chronology, covering roughly from Casino Royale (1953) through Octopussy (1965). In addition to locations, the map notes cars, drinks, villains, women, and guns from each. Completing the Bond aesthetic, the index is superimposed over illustrations of lounging naked women.
