This exquisite
limited edition atlas takes cartography to a new level. For the map
enthusiast, the collector, the armchair traveller, or for those who enjoy
luxury, this beautiful leather-bound edition is a “must-have” for the
library. The Royal Blue Collection consists of just 2000 sequentially
numbered copies. Highly detailed maps, produced by a team of
international cartographers, are the foundation of this book. Each country
in the world is described and illustrated in detail, with focus on the
geography, history, culture, and unique features.
EARTH also presents
four stunning gatefolds measuring 1.8 meters across, including one titled
“Earth from the Sky at Night”, a stunning image taken by NASA. More
than 800 exquisite images were sourced from prestigious picture libraries,
including a large number of images taken by National Geographic
photographers.
Each copy of EARTH
is individually numbered by our calligrapher in Hong Kong and is
accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. EARTH’s leather
cover is bound by hand with painstaking detail given to each stage of
finishing. Gilded pages and a 15 kg preservation case made of hard wood
covered in leather ensure this legacy is protected for generations. |
