This is a very decorative, informative map of Basque—Bearn—Bigorre in southwest France, including the towns of Biarritz, Dax, Bayonne, Lourdes, etc. The map is filled with buildings, animals, a boat, figures, and three local beauties in their typical dress. A large compass rose is in the upper left corner.
Including the Spanish Bask town of st. Sebastian.
In the lower left corner, "Imprimé en France" with a monogram of the publisher "BD".
The map carries the printed signature of the French illustrator, who is only known by his pseudonym, "Jylbert."
It is decorative and unusually vivid, especially for an item published during the Second World War.
