…to Siobhan Critchley, who won a beautiful framed celestial map from the Future Mapping Company worth £140. We’re sure it will look beautiful on your wall, Siobhan!
Founded in 2003, London-based cartographers The Future Mapping Company are renowned for their innovative use of vibrant colours and equal-area projection, showing countries in their correct proportions. Printed using the traditional lithographic process, a plate is made for each colour and laid down individually, resulting in a stunning print that brings out the shimmer of the seas and the shine in the landmasses.
The new Celestial map takes the brand to new heights with a functional star chart that depicts every star directly observable by the naked eye, indicated by magnitude and brightness. Original 17th-century illustrations bring the constellations to life, bringing back a sense of wonder to the traditional star map. The result is a unique, educational map that makes a fantastic piece of wall art for curious kids and adults alike.
