This splashy pictorial map by Remy Hetreau showcases the Bordeaux wine region in southwestern France and its surroundings. It was part of a series of 11 maps commissioned by the Comite National de Propagande en Faveur du Vin, a governmental agency tasked with promoting French wines. The simple, elegant map centers on the Gironde estuary and indicates vineyards with bunches of yellow or red grapes, depending on the type of wine produced at that particular location. Several decorative elements surround the map, including a coat-of-arms, a chateau, grapevines, a sailing vessel, the sun, and Bacchus astride a wine barrel.
