Summary
A large wall map, one of Philips' series of comparative wall atlases, entitled 'Europe, Relief Of Land, Political & Communications'. 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 '1. Europe. Relief of Land, Political and Communications'. In each of the top corners is a large gold-coloured metal eyelet. Threaded through these and knotted is a length of blue twine. The edges of the map are quite dirty, and there are a few small ink stains on the cover.
