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, available directly from Global Mapping's online mapshop Mapstop. 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.

EARTH is unique, the investment of £3,700 represents incredible value as EARTH takes cartography and publishing to a new stratosphere.

"I have now received the Earth atlas and it is absolutely beautiful - what production! I now have to work out how to 'show it off' without everyone manhandling it"

"Lovely to meet you to, and thank you for personally delivering my copy of "EARTH". You are right, Nikki (wife) and I, did have the first look at the book and it was beyond what we had anticipated. Perfect for what I had envisaged its place in our families heritage to be."

"Just a quick message to say that my husband was bowled over with the Earth Atlas.

It was his birthday 2 weeks ago and I was able to someone hide it till then. I have never seen him so “gob smacked” by anything."
