Encapsulated version of a simple, brightly coloured political map (84.5 x 60cm / 33" x 24" approx.), offering the world as seen from Down Under: upside down and Pacific centred, so with Australia and New Zealand on top and in the centre.

The choice of Mercator projection does, of course, greatly distort Greenland or the Arctic islands of Canada, Russia and Norway, but this only adds to the fun of seeing the world turned “the wrong way up”!

LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:
- laminated wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.

- encapsulated wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.

- please note: many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles and descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
