Perfect harmony. A balanced, gently curved design that’s bursting with information. A contemporary tribute to the familiar schoolroom map and is perfect for map-lovers of all ages. This projection gives a unbiased balance between shape and size to the countries and continents. It is widely respected having been brought to prominence by the National Geographic. Arthur Robinson worked by eye to create this solution to the age-old problem of flattening a sphere, and we particularly enjoy the shapely curves of the meridian lines. The maps are printed to the highest quality FSC approved silk-coated paper using a lithographic printing process. This works like a mechanised version of traditional screen-printing. A plate is made for each colour and then laid down individually, offering a stunning-quality print, with great definition and colour impact. A sealer is applied to protect the inks and gloss UV varnish used to add contrast and highlight boundaries.
