The globe features the "Executive" cartography of the National Geographic Maps Division in the style of antique maps. This cartography is essentially political, with physical information indicated by shading.
Over 2,000 geographical names are listed on this illuminated globe. National Geographic's award-winning cartography combines a classic antique map design with an up-to-date political representation.
The text is clearly laid out and each country is shown in a different colour, with a darker shade at the borders to make the political map stand out more clearly.
Warm earth tones are used and a clear typeface improves readability. Shading indicates both mountain ranges on land masses and undersea relief.
