Map of France, globe / Planisphere “Le Monde Politique”, National Geographic Ins
About the Item
Outstanding 19th-century French map designed and published by the French National Geographic Institute following the Aïtoff Wagner cartographic projection, a type of projection used to represent the Earth's surface on a plane. This projection has the particularity of being interrupted and equidistant in two directions (latitude and longitude), which means that the distances between points on the map are correct in certain specific areas. It was proposed by the cartographer Aïtoff in 1942 as a way to reduce the distortions that occur in traditional projections, especially in areas near the poles.
This French edition is framed at the top and bottom with a border of flags from around the world, adding even greater color and originality. It should also be noted that this is a physical-political map, as it combines two main types of geographic information: physical and political features. Physically, the natural elements of the Earth's surface, such as mountains, are shown, using specific colors, shading, and symbols to highlight topography and elevation differences. In addition to physical features, country borders are included. It therefore provides a comprehensive view of the world, combining nature and human political structures into a single visual resource. Its large size and framed with glass give it great weight.
