World Wall Map 1951 by National Geographic

The first World Map published by National Geographic following WWII, this classic is a perfect companion to the World Map published in December 1943. The brightness of this map communicates the optimism following WWII, with an inset showing the United Nations, along with a list of the nations who had joined as of December 1951.

The 1951 World map features:

• International boundaries reflecting the changes following WWII
• Insets for Antarctica and the Arctic
• An inset showing the United Nations countries, along with a list of the countries.
• The inset also shows the Communist World and Atlantic Pact countries
• Major cities and capitals
• Rail routes, major roads
• Ocean currents are shown on the map

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.
