Illustrated map of Algeria and Tunisia by BNCI - 1940

This illustrated map of Algeria and Tunisia, published in 1940 by the Banque Nationale pour le Commerce et l'Industrie (BNCI), measures 53.7 x 43.9 cm. It depicts the main BNCI branches located in North Africa during the colonial era. In a graphic style inspired by Orientalism, the map combines geographical landmarks, decorative elements, and idealized scenes of life: palm trees, dromedaries, mountains, villagers, and boats punctuate the landscape, offering a picturesque vision of the region. This symbolic representation aimed as much to affirm the bank's presence as to convey an image of proximity and stability. Produced for institutional communication purposes, it is today an emblematic document of French colonial graphic production. Dimensions: 53.7 x 43.9 cm
