Another batch of our ever popular school wall maps, this set of eight feature the British Isles. Copyright dates on some of the maps range from 1940's-50's, published in Great Britain by George Philips' & Sons.
We more commonly find these classroom maps in their 'fold up' format, printed in sections before being stuck to the backing fabric with eyelets for hanging. They would have been common place in schools throughout the land, though sadly few have survived.
These more unusual roll up maps are printed as one full sheet then linen backed and mounted flip chart style on a single top baton.
We think that they would look stunning displayed en masse if you have the wall space and can supply individual batons for each.
The subjects they cover are as follows:
1. BRITISH ISLES RELIEF OF LAND AND COMMUNICATIONS.NOW SOLD.
2.BRITISH ISLES POLITICAL & COMMUNICATIONS
3.BRITISH ISLES ACTUAL TEMPERATURE JANUARY.
4.BRITISH ISLES ACTUAL TEMPERATURE JULY.NOW SOLD
5.BRITISH ISLES ANNUAL RAINFALL, ANNUAL ISOBARS & WINDS.NOW SOLD.
6.BRITISH ISLES GEOLOGICAL.NOW SOLD.
7.BRITISH ISLES COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
8.BRITISH ISLES DENSITY OF POPULATION.SOLD.
These maps are in good to fair condition, the. Most have a degree of creasing to the bottom edges which would have received the most handling.
