Superba e rara grande carta geo-pittorica in 6 fogli uniti e riportati su tela pubblicata dal Service Geographique de Madagascar nel 1940 quando l’isola era ancora una colonia Francese. La carta mostra indicazioni pratiche per gli spostamenti come le principali vie di comunicazione, i fiumi, le foreste e le altezze in metri dei rilievi ed è ricchissima di vignette che rappresentano le peculiarità, edifici storici, flora e fauna del Madagascar. Completata in alto a sinistra da un inserto con le isole Comore, da una rosa dei venti ad indicare l’orientamento geografico e dalle belle illustrazioni di navi, vascelli e balene nell’Oceano. La mappa è opera del pittore, incisore e illustratore Urbain Faurec (pseudonimo di Urbain Marie Eustache Faure) che arrivato da bambino a Tananarive visse tutta la sua vita sull’isola fino a diventarne curatore del Museo Nazionale.
