Circa 1900

About the Item

This circa 1900 original poster, "Planisphère de Géographie Politique et Commerciale," is a fascinating artifact of early 20th-century cartography, created by H. Bouthillier de Beaumont. The poster presents a detailed world map, rendered in a projection style that emphasizes the geopolitical and commercial landscapes of the era. The "Planisphère" likely illustrates various trade routes, colonial territories, and key geopolitical regions, reflecting the global political and economic dynamics at the turn of the century. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of the interconnectedness of the world, as understood at that time. The use of vibrant colors and precise detailing would have made it an essential reference for schools, businesses, and government institutions. H. Bouthillier de Beaumont’s projection method ensures that the poster not only serves a functional purpose but also offers an aesthetically pleasing composition. The map likely includes annotations or legends that provide insights into the political boundaries and commercial networks of the period, offering a snapshot of the global landscape before the dramatic changes brought by the two World Wars. For collectors and enthusiasts of historical cartography, this poster is a treasure. It captures a moment in time when the world was rapidly changing, and global commerce was expanding. The "Planisphère de Géographie Politique et Commerciale" is not just a map but a historical document that provides a window into the past, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on geography, history, or early 20th-century educational materials.
