National Geographic - World Classic Map, Enlarged & Matte Laminated Poster by National Geographic 69 × 48in

Enjoy the accuracy and beauty of the latest world map from the cartographers at National Geographic. This map features the Winkel Tripel projection to reduce distortion of land masses as they near the poles. Features include subtle border coloring on land and prevailing winds and ocean currents at sea. Separate insets show the North and South Polar Regions world vegetation and land use and world population density.

Enlarged maps provide an immersive experience in any home or office environment. The exceptional cartography is even easier to appreciate at the larger size. The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.7 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive.

Matte Laminate is a more professional and elegant finish. The velvety texture of the finish makes for a pleasant tactile experience. The matte soft finish is less reflective than gloss, giving a more natural look. The reduced shine absorbs more small scratches and scuffs without looking "beat up".
