They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

When Ibsen`s controversial play A Doll`s House opened to packed audiences at Melbourne`s Princes Theatre, the slam of the door as Nora left her husband in the final act echoed in the minds of thousands of young Australian women. This book is about four of these women, born in Victoria between 1867 & 1893, who lived through the changes which swept across life, culture & art during the early twentieth century. Four short biographies trace their parallel lives. From Rome, Dora Ohlfsen established a career as a celebrated sculptor. With Mussolini`s support, she became the only expatriate sculptor in Italy commissioned with a national war memorial. Significantly, her Anzac medal was the first commemorative work of art memorialising the Anzacs. From Paris, Louise Dyer invigorated music publishing & recording, helping to transform musical culture world-wide. Her label Les Editions de L` Oiseau-Lyre laid the foundations of the modern early music revival & helped shape the notion of `authenticity` in musical performance. From London, Clarice Zander promoted cultural understanding as a curator & as the publicist for the Royal Academy. She pioneered the modern marketing of art & curated Australia`s first important exhibition of contemporary British art. From New York, Mary Cecil Allen, painter, critic, & educator, working at the centre of modern art, inspired many. She ran the first touring exhibition of contemporary Australian art in the United States. Modern women of the arts, they awoke to their full potential & created opportunities for others to do likewise. ...
