Description

Magnificent detailed pen and gouache drawings on two sheets in art-deco style represent the map of Yugoslavia and a calligraphic text page describing the country.

These unusually designed drawings were made by Argentine artist Antonio Raggio for the 11th World Postal Congress (Congreso de la Union Postal Universal) held in Bonas Aires in May 1939. Raggio won an award for his series of manuscript maps on large-scale cards, probably intended as drafts for advertising material.
