There are all kinds of maps which are there to show us the location of a place or to show where a location is in relation to another place so one would be able to find one's location is. They always show a particular area whether it be large or small. The larger the area shown the less detail there will be. Therefore in a map of the whole world there would not be villages or roads shown , to find these items one would have to zoom in to a map which shows a smaller area. Anything can be mapped such as mineral deposits , vegetation , population, roads and the geography of an area showing mountains, rivers, deserts, oceans and land masses. Quite apart from the Earth there are maps of the heavens showing the location of celestial bodies which is important to astronomy. If we zoom into a particular planet we can find a map of it if a survey has been done.All maps are a picture showing information about an area and showing particular information.As people we like looking at maps as they show us which direction to travel in or where we are therefore making sure we are not lost.While travelling to another country we like to know the shape of it, how large it is, the places we are going to visit and where they are.Marquetry maps are a creation whereby the states or regions of a country are inlaid with different woods which are then overlaid with geographic information. The information shows the names of seas, mountain ranges, deserts, towns and states or region. These maps are purely ornamental being made to go on display on the wall or sat on a plate stand on a mantelpiece or desk. The Marquetry Maps of the USA are inlaid with the fifty states that are massed together and the 2 that are not namely Alaska and Hawaii are depicted in graphic maps on the reverse of the main map.There are two different versions which gives a choice of background. One has a black background and the other is within the American Flag or Star Spangled Banner or the Stars and Stripes. Both are equally impressive and make unique gifts for anyone with a love for their country. The woods used are named on the back and they are framed and constructed to a high standard of craftsmanship. Other countries that have been depicted in these unique maps are Australia and New Zealand. The Australian map has the States and the one Territory inlaid and is very pleasing to the eye. The New Zealand map has all the Regions inlaid and shows the route of Captain Cooks journey of discovery.The text and images on the maps is in gold foil lettering which is totally clear though does not lend itself to photography thus giving way to images that only give an idea of what they actually look like.These Marquetry Maps have been described ad exquisite and beautiful and are worth a look if one is looking for that special birthday gift or even corporate gift..For more information please visit http://www.marquetrymaps.yolasite.com
