Northern Hemisphere (1946) Wall Map by National Geographic

This colourful and unique map of the Northern Hemisphere appeared in National Geographic Magazine in February 1946 and features airline distances and U.S. air bases. European boundaries are shown as they were prior to Germany's invasion of Poland, and Russian boundaries reflect treaties and claims as of December 1, 1945. 

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.
