Summary
A large wall map, one of Philips' series of comparative wall atlases, entitled 'Asia, Commercial Development'. It is colour-printed on linen-backed white paper which, when folded correctly, has blue cardboard covers at the front and back. The front has a white label printed in blue, which reads '4. Asia. - Commercial Development'. In each of the top corners is a large gold-coloured metal eyelet. The map is beginning to come apart at one of the folds, but otherwise it is very clean and in good condition.
