Country colours distinguish marketing only, marketing combined with other activities, other activities only and no activity. Symbols locate exploration and production, manufacturing—including the chemical industry—bunker stations and countries with research laboratories, while dotted lines trace the principal tanker routes linking oilfields, refineries and markets. The result is both an elegant corporate image and a revealing geography of energy, shipping and multinational power in 1950. Issued as a large folding insert in the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company's Diamond Jubilee Book, the map captures the oil industry's worldwide infrastructure before nationalisation and decolonisation transformed many of the territories represented.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53776275046747,"sku":"P-6-112247","price":320.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112247a.jpg?v=1786635312"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/royal-dutch-petroleum-company-diamond-jubilee-book.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
