Color road map of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, printed in Zagreb in Slovenian language by Rozankowski as an advertisement for a pharmaceutical firm Alga from Susak by Rijeka (Fiume) on the Croatian coast, who was famous for his glossy posters in the style of Art Nouveau, bonds and other elaborate prints. The firm Alga moved into a modern Art Deco house in the town in 1926 and was investing vast amounts of money on a high quality design of advertisements in popular newspapers and in private ads and brochures. The map celebrates the awards won by Alga products between 1914 and 1928. Map shows quick and slow train routes, steamboat routes, planned railroads, roads good for cars, small roads, postal routes with public transport, car roads with public transport, border crossings, spas, state borders, administrative divisions and capitals. Includes pictorial advertisements and legend. The border on the sea between the ports of Susak and Rijeka are marked on the map. The map cannot be dated before the end of 1929, when on October 3 the name of the Kingdom was officially changed from Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by King Alexander I. It was formed in 1918 by the merger of the provisional State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (itself formed from territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire) with the formerly independent Kingdom of Serbia. The map date is estimated to be c. 1940 since it shows 8 provinces, including Croatia (Hrvatska)--which existed 1939-1941.
