Map of Flying - 1942
This 1942 color pictorial story map of flying, originally mounted on linen, chronicles man's conquest of the air. Designed by Ernest Dudley Chase, the map uses a polar Azimuthal Equidistant Projection and is filled with drawings and images of flying machines with descriptive text. Includes notes and a compass rose in the center of Arctic Circle.
Our Map Reproductions are handmade in our Los Angeles studio using heavyweight 23 mil Epson Exhibition Satin Canvas. This elegantly textured canvas features a semi-gloss satin surface that is enhanced with protective elastic polymers. Decorative wood is assembled on the top and bottom, with two eye-hooks mounted on the top piece. We also supply a jute rope twine that can be attached between the two eye-hooks to complete the vintage feel of a roll down canvas scroll.
