Large World Population Map, 1960s German

The four graphs represent (from left to right, top to bottom) "Population Density," "Religion," "Language," and "Culture, Space and Hiking." Illustrations are rendered with a wonderful mid century bold graphic style and color palette.

Manufactured by Denoyer-Geppert and illustrated Karl Wenschow in Munich. Wenschow, a celebrated sculptor and cartographer, developed the procedure for the industrial production of precise relief maps in 1918.
