A stylish world political map decal with a classic pastel color palette reminiscent of mid-century world maps. Ocean and continent colors have been enhanced to bring a distressed look to the map. The combination of classic color tones and aged look bring a welcoming vintage appearance to the map. Individual countries are illustrated in contrasting colors making them easily identifiable with political boundaries outlined. A multitude of place name labels are featured on the map including: country names, major cities, national capitals, rivers, lakes, mountain peaks/ranges, and latitude/longitude lines. The map borrows from color schemes and fonts typically found invintage maps of the 1940''s and 1950''s, lending to the maps overall classic look and feel. This is an ideal map to hang in a home library, study, executive office, or lobby. A Mercator Projection is used for this map and it is up-to-date with all the latest international name changes up to 2012. We offer this map on an easy to install peel and stick fabric. The self-adhesive peel and stick fabric is resistant to water, wrinkles, bubbling and tears. Unlike traditional wallpaper murals, this fabric goes up without causing any damage to the wall and will leave no residue. Since the fabric is repositionable you can simply peel it off and transfer it to another location, making it a great reusable wall decal.
