Maps give a sense of purpose, direction, grounding—the same safety and sanctuary that are sought in life, itself. Mary Elizabeth's "Map of the World" depicts what that symbolized in a bygone era. Its stately beauty and old world ambiance hold secrets of ancient mariners, historic civilizations and a geography that nature has since transformed. The antique splendor of "Map of the World," though, remains unchanged, making Mary Elizabeth's world quite at home in any office, den, study or household library. Anyone from students, geography buffs and academics, to antique collectors and art enthusiasts, will find it an inviting portal to yesteryear.
