The Eastern Hemisphere map model in the National Geographic range is a classically designed replica.
In 1927, famed American painter N.C. Wyeth completed a series of five murals for Hubbard Memorial Hall, the National Geographic Society's first formal library. Called The Romance of Discovery.
National Geographic has recognised this world map, despite not having a blue ocean, or accurate cartography due to the history involved in this beautiful map design and its significance to the National Geographic society.
Purchasing this map supports the National Geographic ideal that is educating people about the world that we live in, in order to help protect it.
