One side presents a detailed physical and economic map of Tunisia (Tunisie), numbered N18, while the reverse shows a political map of Algeria (Algerie Politique), numbered N17. The French school map poster format by Rossignol is among the most collected of its genre, sought after by map enthusiasts and vintage decor collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth maps are printed in clear, high-contrast lithographic colors typical of mid-20th century French cartographic publishing. The Tunisia map indicates topography through color gradients (green lowlands through orange highlands), marks cities by population size using red dot symbols, and annotates economic resources including phosphates, alfa grass, wheat, and olive cultivation. The Algeria political map delineates departmental boundaries including the Departement de la Saoura and Departement des Oasis in the Saharan south, with major cities such as Alger, Oran, Constantine, and Bone marked by scaled red dots. A small inset on the Tunisia sheet shows the Cote Francaise des Somalis (present-day Djibouti), reflecting the maps colonial-era production date. Text and place names are entirely in French.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach poster measures approximately 90cm x 75cm (35.4\" x 29.5\"), as stated by the seller. The paper stock is sturdy, consistent with Rossignol school poster production intended for wall mounting and repeated classroom use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a set, these charts document French territorial and administrative understanding of North Africa at a specific historical moment. They are relevant to collectors of vintage cartography, French colonial history, and mid-century educational ephemera, and display well as wall art given their scale and graphic clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58044309111128,"sku":"223593007266_F608","price":205.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_b67abb54-05ef-425d-9ba7-1cc79715f4e0.jpg?v=1787241575","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/vintage-french-school-map-poster-tunisia-algeria-2008262","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
