This world map served as a game board created for the Italian company Talmone-Unica as a promotional tool. Players begin at the North and South Poles and roll a die in order to advance by car, plane or ship to various parts of the globe. The first player to advance their way to Rome is the winner. Surrounding the map are the various products of the Talmone-Unica company as well as portraits symbolizing Europe, America, Asia and Africa. In the bottom corners are the game rules and instructions. Blank verso. Issued during the era of Italian fascism (1922-43).
