Fine promotional wall map of the world, promoting the Norddeutscher Lloyd line of Bremen.
The map focuses on the routes of the Norddeutchser Lloyd Line, an important global steamship line in the 19th and 20th centuries. The routes of the line are traced around the world on the map. In the lower corners are portraits of two of the crown jewels of the line's fleet: SS Kaiser Wilhelm II and SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. The coats of arms of the line and the house flag of the Lloyd and Standard of the Imperial adorn the upper corners.
In addition to the steamer routes, the map shows important world railways, telegraphs and submarine cables, and other important details.

The maps show a number of important transit features, including:
Regarding rarity, we find an example having sold at Swann in 2006 for $1,440.
