Description
This handsome double-hemisphere political map captures the fractured world of the mid-1930s in fine detail and attractive color. Bright red highlights primary aviation routes, including the recently introduced service to Hawaii. The same hue is used to label imperial territories and mandates, still affecting a vast majority of the world’s population. Insets in the lower corners explain global time zones, while supplementary text provides statistics about the Earth (size, population, etc.).
The finely crafted work was created by the talented team at the National Geographic Society under editor Gilbert Grosvenor. Albert Bumstead is credited as Chief Cartographer, with Culture by James Darley and Physiography by Charles Riddiford. Published in Washington, D.C. in 1935, with lithography by A. Hoen & Co.
