Description
Combining an interesting mix of French, Arabic, and English, this vibrant pictorial map of Algeria was issued to catch the eye of anyone possibly interested in local economic investment. It was published in 1964, just two years after the country’s official independence from France.
Illustrated vignettes show many of the most profitable commercial exports, including figs, wheat, cork, and oil. The verso features additional information on local crops and other important industries across the country.
The map was published by O.F.A.L.A.C. – the Office Algerien d’Action Commerciale (Algerian Commercial Action Office).
