[A pictorial world map issued to promote the furrier business of C. & E. Chapal. It shows fur-bearing animals pictorially in their respective regions as well as the industry's shipping lanes. At the head of the map is a shield bearing logos of Chapal sub-entities. This map predates the rise of pictorial cartography in the mid-1920s and its golden age in the 1930s and 1940s. While earlier pictorial maps do exist, this particular style was uncommon before the rise of the art deco movement in the mid-1920s. The style was probably inspired by French maps issued in the late 19th century by Andriveau-Goujon, Vuillemin, and others, who used pictorial vignettes on city and world maps to promote tourism and display ethnographic content. It is thus not surprising that this map appeared in France. It is revolutionary in its use of a similar pictorial style within the context of the fur trade. As such, it is a transitional piece, more whimsical than the French pictorial maps of the late 19th century, but not as cartoonish as the forthcoming art deco era pictorial maps.]--Geographicus Rare Antique Maps website.
