This pictorial map of western Africa was published by the Banque Nationale Pour le Commerce et l'Industrie (BNCI). It covers much of French West Africa, extending from St. Louis, Senegal down to Pointe Noire, Congo. The map locates and names several cities in the region, and 4 Caducei symbols (often used to represent commerce) presumably symbolize bank branches. The composition is beautifully decorated by a variety of plants and animals including a lion, elk, and cranes while a native warrior surveys the coastline. Surrounded by a picture frame border. Printed by Draeger in Paris.
