EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Map showing the principal world trade shipping routes, 1912" takes us back in time to a crucial period in global commerce and economic history. Created by the French School in the early 20th century, this colourful lithograph offers a glimpse into the intricate web of international trade during that era. The map, known as Planisphere Commercial, was originally featured in a geography school textbook for primary schools called Atlas du Cours Moyen. It showcases the major shipping routes that connected various ports around the world at that time. With meticulous detail and vibrant hues, it highlights how ships played an instrumental role in facilitating global trade and shaping economies. As we study this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of the immense significance of maritime transportation in fostering economic growth and intercontinental connections. The map not only serves as a historical document but also sparks curiosity about how these routes have evolved over time. Displayed here from a private collection with permission from eArchives Charmet, this image is now part of public domain due to its age. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition when it comes to expanding commercial horizons across vast oceans. Whether you're interested in ships or fascinated by global economics and industry, this print captures an essential chapter in our shared history – one where nations were interconnected through bustling ports and thriving trade networks.
