Europe Wall Map - Published 1992 by National Geographic

Europe — National Geographic Wall Map (1992)

A continent turning a page. Published in December 1992, this vivid Europe wall map captures the first bright breath of the post–Cold War era—new flags unfurling, borders redrawn, and capitals reintroduced to the world stage. It’s Europe in motion, alive with re-emergence and re-connection.

National Geographic’s period-true cartography brings that transformation into crisp focus: countries and coastlines cleanly defined, cities clearly ranked, and modern transport corridors traced with confidence. Designed to command a wall from across the room and reward close study at arm’s length, it’s both reference and artefact. (Issued as half of a two-map set with “The New Europe.”)

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding Europe at the end of the Cold War. Borders, capitals, and networks reveal a continent negotiating fresh identities and renewed ties. Ideal for educators, planners, historians, designers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other period National Geographic maps for thematic displays and comparative study.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
