1950s-60s Yerevan Intourist City Map, Illustrated Cover

A folded Intourist tourist guide-map of Ереван, featuring an illustrated cover with the Erebuni lion emblem, Mount Ararat framed through a stone arch, and the pink tuff facades of central Yerevan. The interior unfolds to a full color city map titled "Ереван Путеводитель" with illustrated landmarks, street grid, and district labels. The compact urban footprint reflects the city as it existed before the major Soviet-era expansion of the 1970s and 80s.

Intourist produced these folded city guides for foreign visitors navigating Soviet cities — a curated, optimistic view of the republic capitals designed to impress rather than inform. The lion on the cover is the ancient symbol of Armenian kingship, repurposed here as a Soviet tourism emblem.

Good vintage condition. Cover shows light wear. Map unfolds cleanly with vivid color. Complete.
