A reproduction of the world map prepared for National Geographic Magazine in 1922, under editor Gilbert Grosvenor.

The map records the political divisions of the world in the years following the First World War, including the new boundaries and mandates it created, along with railways, early air routes and the unexplored polar regions of the day. Polar insets and hemisphere maps of natural vegetation and ocean currents complete the sheet.

Its soft, aged colouring makes it a handsome decorative map as well as a fascinating historical record.

Printed to order from National Geographic's high-resolution artwork. Choose a paper print, a matt or gloss laminate for a durable, wipe-clean finish, or canvas for a premium display piece.

Gloss Laminate

Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.

Matte Laminate

Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them β€˜pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.

Canvas

Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
