Ray Co: World Executive Map

Ray Co: World Executive Map The Ancient Greeks who first discovered that the Earth was round knew that it was impossible to present a detailed map of the Earth on a flat surface; however the development of geographic and cartographic sciences has altered the way in which we present the Earth. Before the age of the great explorers of the seas, which began in the 15th century, our knowledge of distant lands, seas and shores was very limited. Today more than ever we participate in economic, political and cultural events and for this reason there is a need to familiarize ourselves with what were recently hidden secrets and mysteries of the world. The World Executive Map provides a unique combination of a political and geographical map decorated with vignettes and borders using the manners of ancient masters, evident through the emphasis on color and the incorporation of old fonts for the names of countries, cities, mountains, seas, rivers and oceans. All of the political and geographical information is completely accurate and in accordance with the current status of the world. What distinguishes this map from all the rest is the raised relief map of the ocean and sea floors with names marking the most significant areas. The map contains the North and South Pole, a compass with the complete names of the directions of the world, winds and ocean currents, time zones and country flags listed in alphabetical order. The World Executive Map combines sophisticated cartography and a unique design to document our world as never before. Dimensions: 136 x 92 cm
