This is a fine print reproduction of a decorative pictorial map of Europe produced by Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM.

The whimsical map depicts the UK, Western Europe in its entirety, Scandinavia, and parts of Russia and Anatolia. Vignettes sprightly portray iconographic ideals of sport, professional life, tourism and industry for each part of each region, from musicians in Salzburg to a matador fleeing from a bull near Madrid.

The map is surrounded by medallions naming KLM's various subsidiaries and the countries to which the KLM subsidiary flies.?
