Africa underwent tremendous change in the early parts of the 20th Century. Access to air travel and increased motor vehicle availability led to increased travel, which in turn led to increased development and modernization. This beautiful map, produced by the National Geographic cartographic section in June 1935, tells the story of a continent amidst the old and new. Thorough research and spectacular detail are hallmarks of this beautiful map, one that should be part of any map collection.
The map can be 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 it highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of the 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 with wooden hang rollers attached to the top and bottom. The top roller has a hanging cord so that you can hang it from a hook on the wall. The hang rails are lacquered in a natural timber colour.
Note: Please allow ten working days for delivery of hang-railed maps, as our framer needs to attach them.
