Corkboard Map

Product Description

Cartography or map-making is the study & practice of crafting representations of the Earth upon a flat surface. A person who makes maps is called a cartographer. One of the most famous world maps is the Mercator Projection based on the map presented by the Flemish geographer & cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. Of course, way back then it had various inaccuracies showing some countries larger than they really are. But who cares about that
- this Corkboard Map means that you can build a version of the world the way YOU see it, just like our Flemish 16th Century friend did. Based on a pin-up board, this Cork Board Map is a self adhesive map of the world fashioned from cork which serves two important functions. Firstly it looks fabulous & complements any wall you stick it to; the world is pretty cool after all. Secondly, you can use the push pins provided to attach photographs, postcards, tickets & mementos of your travels. Cork Board Map means that you can create a totally personalised & unique world map. You can literally picture your world. Here's an idea; if your friend is due back from their travels, get them one of these to distract them. That way you don't have to listen to all their stories from abroad as they'll be too busy sticking. Overall size (approx): 100 x 45.5 x 0.5 cm
