The Polar Regions
George Philip & Son Ltd.
Circa: 1900–1920

This finely detailed double-hemisphere map of The Polar Regions—one showing the Arctic and the other Antarctica—was produced by George Philip & Son Ltd., a prominent British educational publisher active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Likely dating from around 1900–1920, the map reflects both the curiosity and the limitations of early polar exploration. With delicately colored territorial divisions and crisp typography, it served as a geographic learning tool during the golden age of schoolroom cartography. Though individual cartographers were rarely credited, the Philip firm was known for its accuracy, clarity, and elegant design.
