Everything is Somewhere
This elegant, richly colored antique-style world map features the incredible cartographic detail that is the trademark quality of National Geographic. The map features a Winkel Tripel Projection, which reduces distortion of land masses as they near the poles. Corner inset maps feature vegetation and land use, and population density.
The Executive style World map uses an antique-style color palette and stunning shaded relief that provide a richness perfect for any decor. Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, distortions are minimized and unlike many other World maps, Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina and not as the size of all of South America.
Thousands of place names are carefully and artistically placed on the map to maintain legibility even in the heavily populated ares of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Details include clearly defined international boundaries, cities, physical features, rivers, and ocean floor features. Corner inset maps feature vegetation and land use, and population density as well as the north and south polar regions.
Standard sized maps make a perfect addition to any sized space. They are specially designed to maximize content in a smaller footprint than enlarged wall maps yet a larger footprint than poster sized wall maps. The map is packaged in a two inch diameter clear plastic sleeve.
The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.7 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive.
Premium Mounts are mounted on foamcore, with edge taping. Foamcore is a board of polystyrene foam clad with an outer facing of white clay-coated paper on either side. It is the preferred medium for using map tacks and map pins. Each premium mounted item comes with edge taping, hanging tabs, wall hangers, and nails for wall presentation.
