An exceptional wall map
In 1927, the famous American painter NC Wyeth created a series of five murals for Hubbard Memorial Hall.
These pictures were 'called' Romance of Discovery '' and framed by exquisite illustrated maps of the western and eastern hemispheres with the routes of the great explorers of the world. The map '' Eastern Hemisphere '' is decorated with portraits of these famous men. The map '' Western Hemisphere '' shows Poseidon and a mermaid as a protector of the oceans. These two pictures have now been transferred to paper, to be available as a wall map for anyone
