Germany at 1:1, 375, 000 on a wall map,
Size: 61 x 77cm (24” x 30” approx) – encapsulated version, from the National Geographic Society in highly successful executive style with muted coluring designed to evoke antique maps. The map presents the division of Germany into individual states, showing their names in their English versions, e.g. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania & not Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, or Rhinel&-Palatinate & not Rheinl&-Pfalz. Where appropriate, names of cities are shown in German first with the English equivalent in brackets: Köln (Cologne). Names of geographical features are given only in their German versions, e.g. Schwarzwald & not Black Forest, Donau & not Danube, etc. The map shows the network of main roads & railways, international airports & ferry routes on the Baltic & the North Sea. Topography is indicated by light relief shading, with spot heights & graphics for swamp areas. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals.* This map is also available on paper without the encapsulation.*LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:*- *laminated* wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. 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.
