Public domain art, digitally enhanced in high resolution. Published Winchester, Massachusetts, 1939.
Original dimensions: 23.25 inches x 17.5 inches. Signed in pencil in the lower margin.
This is a fine example of one of the greatest world maps from the golden age of pictorial mapmaking, by one of the art's foremost practitioners, Ernest Dudley Chase (1878-1966).
The map was issued on the eve of the Second World War and reflects the optimism and technological advancements of the inter-war period. It is drawn on the Mercator Projection, a fact celebrated in a note under the title, and includes hundreds of images of global landmarks and triumphs of technology (largely related to the field of air travel).
There are two editions of the map: one dated in the imprint line, with sepia-tone printing; and one undated, with a wider range of colour printing. Some sources date the multi-colour map later than the sepia. The sepia edition seems to be more frequently signed by Chase than the other edition.

CLICK FOR TIPS
When buying artworks figure out what you like. If you're just buying something you love, it's not difficult to make a decision!
If you hang an artwork at home and it doesn’t feel right, move it. Try putting it in different places, and see if it strikes an interesting dialogue with other works on your wall. Smaller artworks often work well near light switches, or hung low over a small piece of furniture like a bedside table.
Grouping works together can be really effective. Test out a group of frames by arranging them on the floor or a table top. If you’re feeling pro, use masking tape to mark out your very own tightly packed grouping!
