Description: Beautiful artwork depicting races of the five continents. This was probably a teaching aid for school. It shows Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas and Europe in the centre. This politically incorrect image shows Europe in the centre of the poster, looking more dignified and civilized than the races of the other continents. Excellent product of the times with Europe at the height of its colonial expansion.
