Klett-Perthes Maps & Atlases

Continents | Hemispheres | Historical Maps | World & U.S. | Atlases
 
For over 200 years, the German-based KLETT PERTHES map company has been producing high quality maps. The maps employ layered color imaging – as many as 13 layers on some maps – which makes flat cartography look remarkably like raised relief.

Map features:
  • Made of laminated linen
  • Markable and washable
  • Labeled in English
 
 
Continents

KLETT-PERTHES CONTINENT MAPS. Two maps in one, all these colorful continent maps are double-sided with one side physical and the other political. All the maps are laminated, mounted on wooden dowels, markable/washable, and labeled in English though manufactured in Germany.

KLETT-PERTHES HEMISPHERE MAPS. Each physical-political map uses color to show topography and ocean depths, while lines indicate national boundaries. Major highways and rivers are represented, populations of capital and major cities are symbolized by size and shape, and colored arrows show prevailing ocean and wind currents. Both maps are laminated linen, mounted on wooden dowels, and markable/washable with use of dry-erase markers. Although labeled in English, the maps are designed and manufactured in Germany.

Historical Maps top

KLETT-PERTHES HISTORICAL MAPS. All these maps show the world in the same cylindrical projection, but with ever-changing political claims over land areas. Major ocean exploration and trade routes are also marked. A strip across the bottom of each map displays a timeline, a detailed legend explaining colors and symbols, and a key to numbered points of interest. All the maps are laminated linen, mounted on wooden dowels, and markable/washable with use of dry-erase markers. Although labeled in English, the maps are designed and manufactured in Germany. 50"h x 74"w. ©2002.
