1935 National Geographic World Map
This 1935 National Geographic world map shows the planet as cartographers drew it between the two World Wars, before the borders of the twentieth century were rewritten again. Instead of flattening the globe into one distorted rectangle, this edition splits the eastern and western hemispheres into two discs, so the relative size of Africa, Asia, and South America reads honestly. The engraved lettering, ocean stippling, and restrained color palette are pure National Geographic house style from the era. It reads well in a study, a library reading room, or a history classroom, and appeals to collectors and interior designers who want a wall piece with a date attached to it.
