The Gall Orthographic Projection was first introduced by the Scottish cartographer James Gall in 1885. His projection was revolutionary for its time, as it’s an equal-area map that shows countries in their true size and proportion to one another. This projection corrects common distortions found in popular maps, helping students and educators understand geography more accurately.

Key Features of the Gall Orthographic Projection Map:

  • Accurate country sizes and proportions, unlike the popular Mercator projection which distorts sizes (e.g., Africa appears 14 times larger than Greenland, as it truly is)
  • Ideal for teaching and understanding geography, showing the world in the correct proportions without navigation-based distortions
  • Printed on archival-quality bright-white paper with options for a laminated satin finish, making it durable for classroom use
  • Detailed, clear labeling with a clean, classic design, making borders and geographic details easy to understand
  • Includes a relief layer that highlights topography changes and ocean floor depths for added educational value

Our Gall Orthographic Projection Map was expertly plotted using Gall’s original mathematical calculations, then refined with clear labels and a visually pleasing color palette. This map offers an accurate and insightful view of the world, perfect for classrooms, homes, and offices. Various sizes are available, published in 2018, making it a versatile and essential educational tool.

Rolled

Spring Rollers

Spring rollers are the classic way in which wall maps are shown in a classroom but the vintage style is also gaining popularity as interior design pieces at home or in the office. Pull the maps down when you need them and roll them away when you don’t.

The map is laminated then installed
on a spring roller and backboard.

Hanging Hardware Instalation Instructions

Each map will be laminated then loaded on the spring roller. The map in the back will have a pulldown bar and ring. The map in the front will have a white plastic flip bar. Pull down both maps using the pulldown bar to view the front map. To view the back map, you can flip the front map over the back of the spring roller using the flip bar.

This price does include Button Mounting Brackets to help with hanging and installation once received!
