Notes: From: National Geographic Magazine Notes: "Fourth of a series of five murals by N.C. Wyeth, the originals of which adorn the walls of the National Geographic Society buildings in Washington." "While simulating the illuminated mariners' charts of the Sixteenth Century, which pictorially dramatized the deeds of dauntless explorers, this map of the Eastern Hemisphere records present-day political boundaries. It also traces the routes of the great discoverers who sailed strange seas and penetrated misty continents to add new areas to the known world." Shows routes of explorers. Includes mythological representations and ship illustrations.
