For the world explorer, business traveler or backpack enthusiast, The Times pushpin classic world map allows you to chart your past and future adventures. The exclusive map, in a 24” x 36” solid black wood frame, displays your name and comes with 100 pushpins.
“What is it about maps that we find so fascinating?” The Times has written. “Ever since the Babylonians scratched two parallel lines and a circle — representing the Euphrates River and their walled capital — on a clay tablet almost 3,000 years ago, we humans have been producing flat spatial imagery to locate our place in the world. Maps anchor us, give coherence to our environment, help make visual sense of otherwise intangible realities.”
Our full color world map is like your own Times Travel Section. It serves as a portal to your past, a record of memories or a to-do-list of adventures yet to be had, for you to display proudly on your wall.
Simply mark the destinations of your life with a pin, and watch as the world is dotted by your memories: cross-country road trips, backpacking through Europe or the thrill of that African safari. The map, created with New York Times fonts, is a way to keep track of your global adventures, mark the locations of friends and family, or pin the destinations you hope to someday reach—and it enhances your home as a handsome wall display at the same time.
This foam-core map is professionally finished in a black wooden frame that comes ready to hang.
The map’s lower left-hand corner comes personalized. Specify up to 30 characters of your choice, including your first or last name and a title. Popular personalization styles include: The Robinson Family Adventures, Mary and Bob’s Travels, The Smith Family’s Journeys or Michael Jones World Traveler.
