AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old tourist map published by the Institut Géographique National (IGN) represents the Marseille and Carpentras region. The cover, visible in the photo, displays a typical design of French road maps from the second half of the 20th century, with a predominance of white and green and yellow boxes for numbering and locating the areas covered.

At the top, the inscription "CARTE TOURISTIQUE" appears in green letters, followed by its English and German translations ("TOURIST MAP", "TOURISTENKARTE"). The number 67 is clearly highlighted on a green background, making it easy to quickly identify the covered area. Just below, the names "marseille carpentras" are printed in black, in legible lowercase letters.

Two miniature maps are visible on the cover: one locating the region concerned (southeast of France, around Marseille and Carpentras), the other presenting the global breakdown of metropolitan France into numbered zones. The "ign France" logo is present on the left side, identifiable by its characteristic typography of the era.

The lower part of the cover is underlined by a green band bearing the mention "institut géographique national". No other visual details, such as publication date or back condition, are visible on this side. The map shows a slight patina and small signs of use, typical of a vintage item, with no major deterioration observable in the photo.

Condition

Second-hand item, sold as is. The cover shows slight signs of wear and a uniform patina, evocative of its age, with no tears or apparent stains on the visible side.
