FLAT 2D SHADED RELIEF MAP - Our Carte Tectonique Internationale De L'Europe 1962 Shaded Relief Map was created with shaded relief added to create the illusion of 3D by applying Digital Elevation Data and meticulously adding shaded relief to the landscape of the original 1962 Carte Tectonique Internationale De L'Europe Geological map. The added terrain under sea level was created through sonar imaging to create the bathymetry (a visual representation and measurement of the water depth). The result is a stunning 3D illusion that showcases every detail of the continent's varied terrain. This unique map is designed and printed at the highest level to transport you to the heart of the continent's natural wonders. The printed on shading allows for traditional framing. The text on the map may be difficult to read due to the small font size, and the age of the map. In areas where relief shading covers the text, the underlying text is illegible. Made in the USA, our Shaded Relief Maps are printed with archival paper and inks ensuring an intricately detailed, fade-free piece with amazing colors. Made of 100% Cotton, OBA-Free, Acid-Free these maps are printed on heavyweight 21.5 mil fine art paper. At Muir Way, we consider our maps to be works of art, so we print them accordingly.
