About This Design
Gall–Peters Corrected World Map Projection Poster
Protect your accreditation! The traditional "flat" world map was designed in the 14th century by Mercator. It was designed as a sailing-navigation tool & due to distortions that Mercator did not address, -the Mercator map does NOT come remotely close to representing the land masses accurately in size nor proportion to other land masses. This Gall–Peters Corrected World Map Projection corrects those distortions and more accurately displays the globe in its flat view. THIS is the proper 2D rendering of the Earth's surface. Isn't it about time! This map needs to replace ALL Mercator projection maps still on display. If you teach geography -then you know the importance of accurate maps. Any if YOU don't have an accurate world map - what will those who know the difference think? Well! And it's not only geography at issue, but politics and how people frame the strategic value of land-masses by the perception of their areas. We live in a time where so many people are "sure" that they understand the basics about the world - and yet many people have no idea about the true geographic proportions of the continents! Use this map as a loud "wake-up" call and get people to think! If they didn't realise what the land-masses were proportional to - then maybe they need to look at some other global characteristics closer, as well. The Laws in most States require that teaching materials be accurate. Prominently displaying inaccurate or outdated materials may endanger your accreditation! Why take risks! This image was based on the (CC BY-SA 3.0) Gall–Peters Corrected World Map Projection; -AND- substantially enhanced with contrast, clarity, colour & depth-detail augmentation by a digital image processing expert, - making this map, one of the finest available on the planet! The previews simply cannot do the actual print, justice! But, you get the idea... This image is available elsewhere but for several times the price it can be obtained for here. Zazzling, - isn't it!

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
