Pictorial map of the Belgian Congo (today's Zaire), showcasing local exports, and highlighting the effects of colonization. In the upper left is a table with legends of the natural resources, locations in the colony and place of Catholic and Protestant Missions. At the bottom are depictions of Congolese men doing work in front of a hut and well as various instrument and household items. Airlines shown.

The hut lower left serves as an advertising cartouche, which in this case is blank. Other variants of the map include details of sponsors.
