Description
This 1958 map of Venezuela is a reissue of an iconic tourist and road map of 1950s Latin America. Colorful, narrative, and richly illustrated, it offers a vivid vision of the country at a pivotal moment in its modern history. Far more than a mere geographical document, this vintage map of Venezuela is a true invitation to travel.
The map highlights the exceptional diversity of Venezuela's landscapes: the Caribbean coast to the north, the Andes mountains to the west, the vast plains of the Llanos in the center, and the immense Amazon basin to the south. The Orinoco River occupies a central place, depicted as a vital artery around which forests, wildlife, and populations are organized. This representation underscores the fundamental role of waterways in a country where some regions remained difficult to access by road in 1958.
The year 1958 marks a major turning point for Venezuela: the fall of Marcos Pérez Jiménez's dictatorship and the return to a democratic regime. This map reflects the optimism of the time, in a country driven by oil prosperity and the expansion of infrastructure. The main roads, carefully traced, bear witness to the desire to connect the territory and promote domestic tourism at the dawn of a new political era.
Graphically, this map is remarkable for its abundant illustrative style. Animals, scenes of local life, agricultural crops, and ships dot the territory, transforming the map into a narrative fresco. Produced for promotional purposes by Mobil, it blends cartography, illustration, and visual communication in a style typical of the 1950s, warm and resolutely optimistic.
This reissue of a vintage 1958 geographical map of Venezuela will bring an exotic, colorful, and historical touch to an interior, while telling the story of a country rich in nature, culture, and contrasts.
Creative paper
For vintage paper posters, we use a natural-toned and textured, slightly grained, 200 gsm FSC®-certified fine art paper. We chose this paper for its durability and to preserve its vintage look: it is an uncoated paper, so the colors will have an "aged" appearance that stays true to the spirit of the original card.
If you would like to get an idea of how the printed result will look, which is always different from what you see on screen, please contact us and we will be happy to help! Rest assured that we will do our utmost to respond to your request as quickly as possible!
