Educational and enlightening. An information-rich reference map sure to dazzle and delight the Europhile. The levels of information on this map go well beyond the ordinary, with our signature layered metallic sea-levels (who knew the Black Sea was deeper than any of the seas surrounding the British Isles?) Swot up on your capital cities and your population densities, your mountain ranges and your major rivers. Never mind GCSE geography, your next pub quiz is going to be a walkover. 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.
