Description
This is a c. 1935 George Philip and Son guide of the world's air routes before World War II. Philips, a British publishing house, uses color to emphasize British routes and other assets worldwide. British air routes, both in operation and projected, are traced with red lines. Blue lines label operational and projected air routes operated worldwide by any other nations. Even the colors used to fill in the countries of the world emphasize British power. Pink highlights states within the British Empire, while the rest of the world's landmasses are shaded yellow. Dark grassy shipping lanes crisscross and curve their way through the world's oceans. The width of each shipping lane correlates to its significance, with the most used lanes connecting the North America with Britain, and Britain with India. Two inset maps along the bottom border detail European air routes and routes in Canada and the United States. A text inset, situated in the lower

Thousands of place names (including capitals), railway lines, airplane routes, canals, glaciers, plus elevations, depressions, and ocean depths are set out in unsoiled, legible cartography that rewards both room-distance viewing and close analyze. It’s the fabric of a connected world—accurate, navigable, and unmistakably of its era—made to research , admire, and display.
