We have three vintage wine maps (pun intended) by the illustrator Remy Hetreau of French winemaking regions c. 1930s on our site: http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/europe/france-wine.html Decorative colorful maps of the Alsace, Loire Valley and Provence vineyard regions of France with emblems and symbols in background. These posters of the wine growing regions within France were made in an attempt to advertise and promote tourism and boost the wine selling industry as a whole. One of these maps was featured in the book about maps You Are Here¹ by Katherine Harmon that came out six years ago. And we also have another French wine map in a more straightforward style from 1942 that is quite large (47 x 17 inches): http://www.georgeglazer.com/archives/maps/archive-europe/burgundywine.html Large vertical oblong wall map of the French Burgundy wine region surrounding the city of Beaune, known as the gold coast of wine growing. Wine estates shown. Appellations and wine classes indicated. Issued as advertisement for Pierre Ponnelle, wine sellers.
