Description
This folding city map (issued in French) highlights the Belgian capital’s wonderful monumental architecture. Dozens of illustrations represent locations of interest, historic sites, statues, hotels and more. The robust park system is colored in bright green, while a grid system overlaid in red corresponds to the street index and list of prominent attractions available on either side of the image. Local transportation routes and train stations are also highlighted.
The map was dated using the presence of the Palais du Centenaire in Heysel Park, constructed for the 1935 Brussels International Exposition. It is one of several examples of city maps of Brussels issued in the early decades of the 20th century by the local publishing firm of A. De Boeck.
