1930s Vintage Atlas Cover

Details

WHO
needs this wanderlust-ness on her/his wall? Who is almost ready to explore the World, but just needs a little push? Your friend, a loved one or maybe – you?
Decades that passed gave this atlas cover a certain patina - the look, smell & feel of the adventure, of the unexplored. It could be just the catalyst needed to push it's owner "to roam the roads of lands remote".
If you decide to buy it you've helped me in my quest to give it what it deserves - a new life.

COVER
depicting World hemispheres was printed in 1930s, as cover of British Atlas „The Brymay Atlas of the World“.
This is vintage original, not a scan, modern reproduction or color print. Due to its age it is expected for it to show some signs of use. A serious map collector would probably notice damaged edges and few smudges and stains. But this is an atlas cover that was used by numerous generations. Imagine how many dreams of distant lands and plans for some grand voyage has this atlas witnessed. So what all these imperfections really are is the proof that this map is soaked in travel dreams, the wanderlust-ness that you are looking for.

BY THE WAY..

Almost every second person is living in poverty and though they all, just like you and me, have basic needs for food, shelter or education - most of them do not have access to basic financial services. Formal financial institutions consider them to be “unbankable”.
Kiva is a non-profit organization with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive.
