This original school wall map of Czechoslovakia from the 1960s depicts borders and administrative divisions from the years 1939–1945. Printed on a cream background, with regions highlighted in pastel shades of green, pink, blue, and yellow, it is framed by a wide, matte-finished orange border that emphasizes its mid-century educational style. Red and orange lines clearly define territorial and administrative boundaries, while detailed topographical markings, a legend, and a compass rose in the upper right corner reference its didactic purpose. The map is made of paper coated with plastic, mounted on two matte black wooden slats at the top and bottom, and suspended by the original black twine. This robust construction ensures stability and prevents curling. The overall condition is very good, with no tears or stains, only a subtle age-related patina confirming its vintage character.This map echoes the era’s commitment to clarity and function— the 1960s brought tools to schools that were meant not only to inform but to organize knowledge. The orange border and pastel tones create a visual rhythm in which history becomes accessible. The map seems to narrate a time when every line and color had educational significance, and the very form—though straightforward—was a vessel for ideas about collective identity.It could find its place in a home office, library, or living room arranged in a mid-century modern spirit, where it would highlight the collectible nature of the interior. It may be paired with classic dark wood shelving, metal lamp fittings, and period posters for a coherent, scholarly composition. Alternatively, it would serve as a contrasting accent on a white wall in an eclectic or loft-style space; one could combine it with other educational decorations or geometric graphic art to complete the look.
