1943 Jylbert mappa pittorica colorata del Niger, Africa occidentale francese

Decorative map of Niger published during the second world war. The map is filled with buildings, animals, figures, and two locals, along with a large compass rose in the upper right corner. In the lower left corner is 'Imprime en France' alongside a monogram of the publisher 'BD.' The map features a printed signature of the French illustrator who is only known by his pseudonym 'Jylbert.' The vivid color has been achieved through an intriguing combination of chromolithographic engraving and pochoir, a stencil technique.
