KLM Europa

Cartographer:

"jeesink" 

Date of Creation:

c1958

 

Colorful and incredibly busy advertisement for the Dutch Royal Airline. Large Compass Rose/cartouche in the right corner showing all the signs of the zodiac. The map is surrounded by vignettes, perhaps a nod to the earlier Dutch mapmakers. The name “Jeesink” in the lower left of the image, but no indication of where printed. Dating based on the fact he the aircraft shown is propeller driven
