In 1927, famed American painter N.C. Wyeth completed five murals entitled "The Romance of Discovery" for Hubbard Memorial Hall, the National Geographic Society's first formal library. This eye-catching 'Map of Discovery' of the Eastern Hemisphere is one of those five stunning murals. Blending both the modern vibrancy of bright colors with an antique base is a genuinely unique cartographic art piece.
It showcases the historic routes of explorers sailing the seas of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia with their political borders. This beautiful art portrays the explorers and map markers of the 17th century at the bottom corners. The Ancient Greek God Zeus, the God of Sky, Lightning, and Thunder appear on the upper corners hurling thunderbolts and the wind blowing in his chosen direction.
This Limited Edition 'Map of Discovery' is the perfect vintage addition to your wardrobe.
