This wonderful old map of the Geology of East Asia was originally published in 1932. It was created by Tokyo Geology Society.
This map shows the vast difference between East Asia's and Malay Archipelago's landscapes above and underwater, from desert to coral reef to Jurassic geological periods.
It is a beautiful map, and it catches your eye with its many colours, but the details on the map go far beyond that and include rocks, sediments, and observations regarding the Earth's composition and structure.
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 80in (203cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45.5x61cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of India and East Asia by Gerard de Jode in 1593.
The locations on this map include: Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Brunei and Myanmar.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in the Geology of East Asia or is a keen geoscientists.
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.
