Wonder Map of Melbourne 1934

The Wonder Map of Melbourne was produced by John Power Studios in 1934 and is a stunning example of cartography, the characters are reminiscent of figures from a Monopoly board and the texture of the grass is so rich that you could almost mistake it for being felt. 

This beautiful pictorial representation of Melbourne combines beauty with social commentary contained within the captions included on the map.

The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook in the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.

Note: Please allow 10 working days to deliver hang railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
