NGS Executive Political World Map: FRAMED

Series details

£125.00

Framed version of the standard size, Atlantic centred political map of the world in the NGS “Executive” series which offers current information presented in elegant antique style. The map is mounted on board with a high quality aluminum frame and measures 119 x 78cm (3ft 7" x 2ft 7" approx.).

Countries are in rich but muted colours and oceans in beige, with additional panels and framing in shades of brown. An unusual feature of this series is the excellent presentation of the ocean floor, with impressive relief shading to show the continental shelf around the land masses and numerous ridges, many with names. Unfortunately, although clear and very effective on all the sizes of this design, the samples presented here cannot do full justice to such fine detail.

On land, the map has relief shading with names of main mountain ranges. Heights for peaks are given in feet. Within USA boundaries and names of states are shown. Four insets present the Arctic and the Antarctic, plus vegetation/land use and population density world maps. Also provided are lists of 10 largest countries by area and by populations. Projection is Winkel Tripel, which reduces distortion of land masses as they near the poles.
