Description

A framed political wall map of the world, titled The World, bordered by an extensive series of national flags. The cartography features geopolitical boundaries and labels consistent with the period between 1992 and 1994, including the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Russian Federation following the dissolution of the USSR. The map includes the former national flag of South Africa, which was replaced in April 1994. Text is primarily in English but incorporates various endonyms, such as Chung-Kuo for China, Mongol Uls for Mongolia, and Kalaallit Nunaat for Greenland. The print is housed in a dark-stained wood frame featuring a gilt-effect inner slip and is protected by glazing. While the design resembles maps produced by firms such as Rand McNally, no specific publisher mark is legible in the bottom margin.
