World Wall Map 1941 by National Geographic

The Classic National Geographic World map of 1941. One of the last maps published prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, this extraordinary map shows the Eastern and Western Hemispheres and features classic colourization to show the country borders and relief shading. A perfect complement to any world map collection.

The 1941 World map features:

• The Eastern and Western Hemispheres, beautifully created with the Azimuthal Equal-Area Projection
• Classic colourization to depict country borders in force in 1941
• Thousands of place names, including country capitals
• Insets for the "Land" and "Water" Hemispheres, showing elevation and ocean depths
• Insets showing population density for the Eastern and Western Hemispheres

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.
