Description

Fine example of this scarce map of the Belgian Congo.

Colorful pictorial map of Belgian Congo, by Frans Laboulais.

In the small hut, there is an advertising section for Compagnie Maritime Belge, S.A. of Antwerp.  This space seems to have been sold to different advertisers, a we find blank examples and advertising for at least 3 different Belgian companies on different versions of the map.

The map shows major cities and towns. Drawings throughout represent the colony's genre scenes depicting the people, agricultural products, mines and minerals, plants, animals, roads, railroads, airways with distances, rivers, waterways, etc.
