Portrait Of The Earth 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle - Ravensburger

This specially created map based on the Tripel Projection features bolder, clearer text and flags of the world, and is an enjoyable way of learning more about the countries of our world.

First seen in print in 1955 as The Times Atlas of the World, the projection was designed by Oswald Winkel in 1921 with the aim of minimizing the three areas of distortion faced by map makers: area, direction and distance. Thus it became the Tripel Projection (Tripel is German for triple). The result is a wonderfully spherical-looking map, which gives a graceful curve to oceans and landmasses alike.

High quality 1000 piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle, made from strong premium grade cardboard, with linen finish print to minimise glare on puzzle image. 

Recommended for 12 years +.
