KLM 1938 Antique Route Map

This 1938 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines brochure page maps the airline's remarkable Amsterdam-to-Batavia (Jakarta) route — one of the longest scheduled air services in the world at the time, stretching through Budapest, Athens, Baghdad, Karachi, Calcutta, Bangkok, and Singapore before reaching the Dutch East Indies. A cutaway illustration of the aircraft's passenger cabin floats above the route map, offering a fascinating glimpse into 1930s long-haul air travel — a journey that took days rather than hours.

Restored from the archival scan, preserving the original slate blue and cream palette.
