World OS Miller Projection Wall Map LAMINATED

Product Description

Political map of the world from the Ordnance Survey, size 123.5 x 91.5 cm / 48” x 36” approx, ideal for schools, with flags & country facts, laminated surface suitable for marking, etc. The map’s Miller projection, as explained in the accompanying notes, reduces the exaggerations of the more traditional Mercator maps & the shape distortions of the now popular equal areas projections like Peter’s. Political colouring by country is supplemented by relief shading to show mountain ranges & names of main physical features are included. All place names are in their English versions. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 15° intervals. A panel under the map shows country flags accompanied by details of area & population. 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.
