Duplex Cartography by Columbus

All globes sold in US show an up-to-date information in English

 

The Political map (non- illuminated version seen at right) depicts countries in different colors.

The Physical map (illuminated version seen at left) depicts mountain elevations, valleys, plains and sea depth details.  Relief is shown by variations in color shades and tones.

Maps are applied by hand with acrylic sheets. They are printed with up to 18 successive layers of colors, maintaining a curing process between each layer, along with an inspection and careful cleaning.  Once the printing is complete, a high gloss clear coat finish is applied over the entire map.
