ON AUCTION IS A HISTORICAL 1970S MAP OF THE WORLD. PRODUCED BY MAP STUDIO AND PUBLISHED AS A PERSONALITY MAGAZINE SUPPLEMENT ON 26 FEB 1970. IT IS POSTER SIZE 100CM WIDE AND 66CM HIGH.

THIS MAP IS A WINDOW INTO THE PAST THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPLORE THE WORLD AS IT WAS OVER 50 YEARS AGO. OBSERVE THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED OVER TIME.

Discover what the world was like during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States were locked in an arms and political race. You'll be able to see the division of Germany into West and East Germany and how this affected the politics and geography of Europe. 

This map will also allow you to explore how newly independent countries in Africa and Asia were establishing themselves as independent nations after centuries of colonial rule. 

Look out for Rhodesia: a country that existed in that name from 1965 to 1979. Named after Cecil Rhodes, it was formed by a predominantly white minority government that unilaterally declared independence from Britain in 1965. 

Also notice Vietnam was officially unified in 1976 after the fall of Saigon in 1975 marked the end of the Vietnam War, leading to the merging of North and South Vietnam under a single communist government.

This 1970 World Map is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the world. Note I have another 1969 poster map of Africa (with dates of indepence) and South Africa and a 1968 Map Atlas wth maps of Africa from 1660, 1884, 1939 and 1968.

PERSONALITY MAGAZINE (1957-1970s):
The magazine was first a South African general interest magazine called The Outspan from 1927 to 1957, followed by a fortnightly publication called Personality from 1957 to early 1970s. It was published in Bloemfontein and described as a "South Africa's Weekly for Everybody". Personality continued the legacy of its predecessor, and was one of the best-loved and most widely-read magazines in English-speaking South Africa. As the 1970s decade progressed, it was sold alongside other magazines of the era.

MAP STUDIO (1958 - present):
MapStudio has been the leading publisher and distributor of maps, travel and lifestyle publications in Africa for over 55 years. Since its founding in 1958, MapStudio has produced maps of high quality and accuracy which has been a go to reference for many Africans in the past.
