About the Item
This 1937 original poster presents a detailed illustrated map of the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne, held in Paris. The International Exposition, which took place from May to November 1937, was a monumental event showcasing the latest advancements in architecture, science, and industry while highlighting the artistic and cultural contributions of various nations.
Designed in a vivid and precise cartographic style, the map captures the layout of the exhibition grounds along the Seine, extending from the Trocadéro and Palais de Chaillot to the Grand Palais and beyond. Each pavilion and section is clearly marked, guiding visitors through areas dedicated to foreign nations, industry, transportation, scientific innovations, and artistic movements.
The Exposition Internationale de 1937 is famous for the dramatic architectural rivalry between the German and Soviet pavilions, which stood directly opposite each other, symbolizing the rising tensions of the era. The fair also introduced modernist design principles, with contributions from Le Corbusier, Robert Mallet-Stevens, and Auguste Perret, shaping the future of urbanism and industrial aesthetics.
This historic map is an invaluable collector’s piece, offering a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur of 1930s world fairs, the evolution of Parisian architecture, and the technological ambitions of the interwar period.
