About the Item
The 1937 original map poster titled "Une course d'automobiles à travers la Belgique" is a fascinating artifact that combines cartography, graphic design, and the cultural enthusiasm for automobile racing that defined the interwar period.
This poster was designed as a board game, inviting participants to engage in an imagined automobile race across Belgium. It reflects the growing popularity of motor vehicles and their symbolic association with progress, modernity, and national identity during the early 20th century. The game format, with a clearly marked route that traverses Belgium’s provinces, mirrors the excitement surrounding competitive racing events and the broader fascination with mobility and exploration.
Each region of Belgium is highlighted, showcasing key cities and landmarks, underscoring the country’s rich history and cultural diversity. The map not only serves as a playful activity but also educates viewers about Belgium’s geography and infrastructure. It celebrates Belgium's connection to technological advancement and leisure pursuits, particularly through its vibrant motor culture.
This poster was likely intended to appeal to families and automobile enthusiasts, blending entertainment with an appreciation for Belgium’s landscapes and cities. Its colorful layout and creative incorporation of local heraldry and symbolic motifs evoke a sense of national pride.
“Une course d'automobiles à travers la Belgique” remains an excellent example of how maps and games were used to promote national identity and recreational interests during this time. It also stands as a reminder of the cultural significance of motor racing and the increasing influence of automotive innovation in daily life.
