Pacific Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal Wall Map - Published 1943 by National Geographic

Published in September 1943 during World War II, this map of the Pacific Ocean and the Bay of Bengal contains an abundance of detail. With inset maps of over fifty islands, boundaries and notes showing the political administration of islands, typical storm tracks, time zones, and both airline and nautical distances, this work makes a fine addition to 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.
