This wonderful old map of the World in Mercator's Projection was originally published in 1931. It was created by Ernest Dudley Chase.
Titled "Mercator Map of the World", this beautiful illustrative map shows the meridians, major cities, mythical creatures and animals worldwide.
World-famous landmarks such as the Andes Mountains of South America, the Pyramids in Egypt, and even the Greenlandic Inuit are illustrated on the map. Take a look, and see what you can spot!
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 24x36in (61x91.5cm), 30x40in (76x101.5cm), 37x50in (94x127cm), 45x60in (114x152.5cm) and 52x70in (132x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 140in (356cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in the World in Mercator's Projection or someone who wants an informative map of the world.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
