McArthur's Universal Corrective Map of the World | 23x35 South-Up Poster

The McArthur's Universal Corrective Map of the World is a celebrated piece of cartographic history and a powerful political statement. Originally published in 1979 by Australian student Stuart McArthur, this 23" x 35" poster map challenges the centuries-old convention of placing the North at the top.

• Unique Perspective: This south-up world map rotates the Earth 180 degrees, prominently featuring Australia at the top and center. It provides a disorienting, yet geographically accurate, view that forces the viewer to re-evaluate their assumptions about the world.

• A "Corrective" Statement: Often called the "Upside-Down" Map, it was created to directly confront Euro-centric bias and the notion that the Northern Hemisphere holds a position of superior importance, famously challenging the "Down Under" jokes.

• Key Features: This full-color map is a bold piece of wall art perfect for education, challenging students, and sparking conversation. It is an ideologically disruptive and powerful reminder that map conventions are simply human constructs.

• Size: This popular edition measures 23 x 35 inches.
