World Wall Map 1957 by National Geographic

This National Geographic classic is a perfect companion to the World Maps published in December 1943 and December 1951. A cartographic masterpiece, this 1955 map combines a clean, light style with tremendous attention to detail--both on land and in the oceans.

The 1957 World map features:

• International boundaries
• Insets for the South Polar and North Polar Regions
• An inset showing the United Nations countries, along with a list of the countries.
• The inset also shows the Communist World and Atlantic Pact countries and lists of the countries in S.E.A.T.O, the Baghdad Pact, and the Arab League.
• Major cities and capitals
• Rail routes, major roads
• Ocean currents and depths are shown on the map

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 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.
