A unique brown half-tone colored map complete with historical images of famous explorer ships provides a gorgeous setting for the world.
The unique soft “velvet-like” finish of the globe and the “raised relief” embossing that provides a 3D like texture, invite you to explore this globe with your fingertips. The map features over 3,500 place names with political and provincial boundaries that are distinguished using grey-toned lines while rivers and coastlines are demarcated using lighter grey tones. The locations of waterfalls and canals are marked along with the locations of famous explorers’ ships, placed in the regions that they explored. These notable figures include Christopher Columbus, Vasco de Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Cheng Ho, James Cook, and many others.
