This wall art is an upside-down world wall map with everything reversed! The south is at the top of the map, the north is at the base and the southern hemisphere is now at the top. The countries in the east are now on the left of the map, and those in the west are now on the right of this upside-down map. This upside-down political map has countries marked in different colours according to international country boundaries. Capital cities (including approximate population size) and hill shading are also shown on this upside-down political world wall map. Helps us all to appreciate that the world is spherical rather than flat and presents a different view of the world to usual maps. Although this upside-down version of the map is aimed at secondary school-aged children, it makes a great addition to a family room or office as well. The sizes of this map make it ideal for classroom walls. This huge upside-down world wall map political (laminated) with encapsulation gives the map a write-on, wipe off finish. Using a dry wipe marker, any writing on the map can be wiped off with a proprietary cleaner.
