Map of the Square and Stationary Earth 1893

The classic Flat Earth Map.

Based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, this map depicts the earth's continents in a donut-like basin and portends a flat earth theory that discounts the existence of gravity. Produced and published by self-proclaimed doctor Orlando Ferguson, a native of South Dakota, this map existed in relative obscurity until it was donated and accepted by the Library of Congress in 2011. His depiction places the sun and moon in lamp-like positions and attempts to explain the so-called Columbus phenomenon. This is the perception of a ship breaching the horizon with only the mast being visible before the hull comes into view, and the view of the ship grows as it gets nearer.

Finishes:

The map can be printed on heavyweight paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing, as we use an accurate 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 top and bottom. The top roller has a hanging cord, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come 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.
