Europe. Rose (F. W.), Serio-Comic War Map for the Year 1877, published G. W. Bacon & Co., colour lithographic map with explanatory text (in German) pasted over the original English printed text to lower right, slight spotting and staining, old folds, repaired closed tears, extensively repaired and strengthened on verso, 430 x 570 mm (Qty: 1)Rose's map was published in the midst of the Russo-Turkish War. It shows Russia creeping like an octopus across the globe, its tentacles grasping at land and countries on all sides. The European countries are illustrated as individual men and women, partially caricatured, to display their national characteristics, but Russia is depicted as non-human; something alien, malevolent and monstrous, disturbingly prescient in the current volatile socio-political situation of a deliberately destabilising Russian state. This initial representation of Russia as a cartographic cephalopod became a widely used and much copied conceit and this is a scarce German variant of Rose's 'Octopus map'.

Celestial chart of the Constellations. Boucher (Lucien), Air France, Paris, 1938, large chromolithographic poster of the heavens and the zodiacal constellations, printed in gold, turquoise and blue, wind heads in each corner, small globe to lower centre showing Air France routes around the world and in the upper cusp is a circular image of a hippocampus, laid on card, 600 x 965 m m (Qty: 1)Louis Boucher designed and produced posters for Air France for nearly thirty years and this clever design manages to give the suggestion of a blend of fantasy and reality and at the same time provides the viewer with suggestion of the experience they will have if they choose to fly with Air France. It is designed to capture the imagination and at the same time provides a strong brand message. In an almost surrealistic manner Boucher has managed to illustrate the constellations as obtainable and encourages us to see the aeroplane as not just the master of the sky, but of the whole universe, connecting the passenger not merely to earthly destinations, but to the stars themselves.
