Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 1938-1944 - Published 1944 by National Geographic

This World War II-era map of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was published in December 1944, at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. This map shows international boundaries according to Russian treaties and claims as of October 1, 1944, and boundaries as of January 1, 1938, before Germany invaded Poland, are noted in red.  

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 that you can hang it from a hook on the wall. The hang rails are 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.
