About the Item
The 1948 original map titled La Vallée de la Dordogne de Bordeaux à la Bourboule was created by the French artist and cartographer Jean Moles. This map serves as both a geographical guide and a work of art, capturing the charm and complexity of one of France’s most picturesque regions—the Dordogne Valley.
Jean Moles was known for his ability to blend cartographic precision with artistic flair, producing maps that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. His 1948 map of the Dordogne Valley exemplifies this fusion of art and science. It showcases the region stretching from Bordeaux in the west to La Bourboule, a well-known spa town in the Massif Central, depicting the river’s winding course through the rich, varied landscape of southwestern France.
The Dordogne River Valley is celebrated for its natural beauty, historic villages, and important prehistoric sites. Moles’ map highlights these features with intricate detail, marking the key towns, natural landmarks, and routes that make this area a favorite destination for both tourists and historians. The region’s deep connection to French history is also evident in the map’s design, which pays homage to the historical architecture, including medieval castles and Romanesque churches scattered throughout the valley.
In addition to its practical use as a travel guide, Moles’ map serves as a cultural snapshot of post-war France, a time when the country was beginning to rebuild and promote its heritage. The map’s aesthetic design reflects the optimism and renewed appreciation for French regional culture that characterized this period.
One of the distinguishing features of Moles’ work is his use of vibrant colors and fine lines, which help bring the Dordogne Valley to life on paper. The map is not only a representation of the physical terrain but also an invitation to explore the unique cultural landscape of the region. His meticulous attention to detail ensures that every curve of the river and every hilltop village is depicted with accuracy, while his artistic sensibility imbues the map with a sense of adventure and discovery.
The 1948 map of La Vallée de la Dordogne by Jean Moles remains a cherished piece of cartographic art, valued not only for its historical significance but also for its artistic merit. It reflects the enduring allure of the Dordogne region and stands as a testament to Moles’ talent in combining the technical demands of mapmaking with the creative expression of an artist.

Conklin Lee Ten Years After, Sun Ra and Country Weather - 1968 Original Poster
Located in PARIS, FR
Original Poster from Lee Conklin.
Lee Conklin is an artist best known for his psychedelic posters from the late 1960s and particularly for his iconic cover of Santana's first album.
At the time, photography was the basis of advertising, while psychedelic graphics were done by hand and were mostly based on an illustration concept.
The posters of this movement claim a new aesthetic: the flashy and warm colors, the shapes and moving typography and the density of the motif that invades the space translate the psychedelic vision, often associated with the taking of substances such as LSD.
The psychedelic experience was evident in Ten Years After and Country Weather entangled in the branches of the island tree, but this was not a classic tree-of-life image. Fillmore West hung from the branches on spider web threads.
