The map utilises, & indeed elevates, the classic Winkel Tripel projection to a bold modern aesthetic that is sure to make an impact in any interior setting. First seen in print in 1955 as The Times Atlas of the World, the projection was designed by Oswald Winkel in 1921 with the aim of minimizing the three areas of distortion faced by map makers: area, direction & distance. Thus it became the Tripel Projection (Tripel is German for triple). The result is a wonderfully spherical-looking map, which gives a graceful curve to oceans & landmasses alike. A true celebration of the beauty of mapped data. This finest top quality, 8 colour lithographic print rejoices in the freedom the craft & process allows, mixing metallic & fluorescent inks through political & physical data to dramatic effect. A stunning work of art for your home or office wall, but equally, a great reference map. Displaying countries, capital & major towns & cities, it highlights major rivers, peaks & lakes, as well as naming many physical features both on & offshore. The data is completed with inset north & south pole projections. ...

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.
