This decorative “100 Years of the Red Cross” world map poster was designed by renowned French artist Lucien Boucher to commemorate the centennial of the International Red Cross from 1863 to 1963. Printed in France, the poster celebrates a century of humanitarian work by the global Red Cross movement.
The colorful illustrated planisphere world map features continents filled with small scenes showing Red Cross nurses, doctors, and humanitarian activities around the world. Ships, cultural landmarks, and regional imagery appear throughout the map, reflecting the organization's international reach. Surrounding the map is a decorative border of national flags representing the many countries where the Red Cross operates.
Lucien Boucher is best known for his famous Air France planisphere travel posters, and this design reflects the same richly detailed cartographic style that made his work internationally recognized. The poster also pays tribute to Henri Dunant (1828–1910), the founder of the Red Cross.
