Vintage tourist map of Antwerp - 1954

This map of Antwerp, entitled "Antwerpen Plattegrond der Stad" (Antwerp City Map), is an illustrated tourist map published by the "Dienst voor Propaganda en Toerisme" (Service for Tourism Promotion). The map presents a detailed view of the city center along the Scheldt River, as well as specific insets highlighting the city's parks, such as Rivierenhof Park, Te Boelaerpark, and Nachtegalenpark. The map is enhanced with numerous illustrations of iconic landmarks drawn in perspective, allowing for quick identification of historical sites. An illustrated key in the lower right corner lists the main buildings, including the Cathedral and the City Hall. The graphic style is characteristic of the 1950s, with a pastel color palette and precise lines. The map measures 60 cm by 47 cm.
