Description

This rectangular poster features a central world map in a pseudocylindrical projection, centered on the Atlantic Ocean and Africa, with landmasses depicted in white and the French Empire highlighted in bright yellow-orange. Multiple red lines radiate across the blue oceans, connecting France to various global territories. Above the map, large blue text reads, "LA SÉCURITÉ DE L’EMPIRE FRANÇAIS / LA PROSPÉRITÉ DE NOTRE PAYS / EXIGENT / UNE MARINE FORTE ET TOUJOURS PRÊTE," the word "EXIGENT" in red. Below the map are four distinct blocks of text, each beginning with "PARCE QUE." Surrounding the map are black-and-white illustrations of ships at sea and a flying airplane.
