The World - The National Geographic 125th Anniversary Map FOLDED
National Geographic’s 125th Anniversary Map of the World, folded version, combining present day and historical world maps; on one side a contemporary political map with two insets showing the world in 1888 and 1988, plus on the reverse a world map published by the Society in 1922.On one side is a present day political map of the world, showing countries in pleasant pastel colours. All place names are in their English versions. On land the map has very subtle relief shading with names of main geographic features: deserts, mountain ranges, highest peaks (altitude in feet), etc. On light blue oceans stronger shading shows the sea floor with names of ridges, basins, plateaux, etc. North and South Polar regions are presented on insets. The map has latitude and longitude lines at
30°, plus clocks indicating time difference from GMT. Two more insets show the world in 1888 and 1988 – the Society’s founding and centennial years.On the reverse is a reproduction of the National Geographic Society’s first map of the world, published as a supplement to the December 1922 magazine. The map is centred on the Americas, splitting Asia east of the Indian Subcontinent, and indicates colonial possessions and dominions. An interesting feature are airline routes, marked as in operation, authorized but not yet in operation, and flown but not yet commercially adopted. Insets present the two Polar Regions, plus maps showing natural vegetation with ocean currents and the density of population with prevailing winds.Please note: this title is also available as a wall map,
on paper or encapsulated.
