Lot 995: National Geographic Decorator Series World Wall Map 2013
This is a large-format framed world wall map from the National Geographic Decorator series, published by the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. The map bears a copyright date of 2013 in the bottom left margin. It presents a comprehensive political view of the world using the Winkel Tripel projection, featuring vibrant colour-coding for countries. The cartography includes four significant inset elements: detailed maps of the North Polar Region and South Polar Region in the top corners, and two globe-style maps depicting World Land Cover and World Landforms in the bottom corners. Centred at the bottom is the title THE WORLD positioned above the National Geographic logo. The map is professionally mounted in a light-toned wooden frame with a black inner border. The surface has a high-gloss finish, indicating it is likely laminated or set behind glass.
