Rather than political or human-made boundaries, Thomas’s map is defined by 1,642 hand-drawn animals—all wild, native, and living today—in their areas of habitation. “Wild World is a place that still exists; a world that can still be cared for, cherished, and protected,” he says. It took three years to complete this highly detailed work, channeling his lifelong love of maps and his admiration for this diverse planet we inhabit. Although his life story began in New Zealand, it was during a visit to Canada that Thomas’s mapmaking took an unusual turn: he found himself perched in front of a refrigerator for six weeks, illustrating on its surface a map of North America. Next up, the world.","brand":"Pomegranate ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44728965300414,"sku":"AA1200","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0297\/7982\/files\/AA1200_01_2f42ea99-e194-48bb-a896-fa0cc4f659a7.png?v=1785395236"},{"product_id":"andreas-cellarius-celestial-atlas-1000-piece-jigsaw-puzzle","title":"Andreas Cellarius: Celestial Atlas 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle","description":"For Andreas Cellarius, the stars were ever in harmony with the universe. He is best known for the ​\u003cem\u003eAtlas Coelestis seu Harmonia Macrocosmica​\u003c\/em\u003e, a fascinating celestial tome and a remarkable achievement for the golden age of Dutch cartography. Although born and educated in Germany, Cellarius, a Latin instructor and cosmographer, lived in Holland for most of his life, during which time Amsterdam was a world center for mapmaking. The scenographic celestial chart shown on this puzzle was published in 1660 by Johannes Janssonius of Amsterdam as one of 29 hand-colored double-folio maps included in the ​\u003cem\u003eHarmonia Macrocosmica​\u003c\/em\u003e. Here, Cellarius positions the viewer deep in outer space, gazing down on constellations of the Northern Hemisphere and the lands and waters below them. This perspective is based on​ scientific theory of the day, and allegorical vignettes in each corner shine a light on then-modern equipment for observing the heavens.","brand":"Pomegranate ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45654291349694,"sku":"AA1212","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0297\/7982\/files\/AA1212_01.png?v=1781593791"},{"product_id":"anton-thomas-north-america-tundra-to-tropics-1000-piece-jigsaw-puzzle","title":"Anton Thomas: North America: Tundra to Tropics 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle","description":"Discover North America like you’ve never seen it before in this epic illustrated map by artist-cartographer Anton Thomas.

Artist Gareth Fuller spent months exploring the US capital city and interpreting its idiosyncrasies, both contemporary and historical. The resulting hand-drawn artwork tells the story of an influential and culturally rich metropolis, a seat of government and center of national identity over time. Like other works in Fuller’s Purposeful Wanderings series, this one vibrates with fine, often humorous details and what the artist describes as “a collage of fact and fiction.”\r\nThe puzzle’s reverse side features the Declaration of Independence—an 1823 William J. Stone engraving commissioned by John Quincy Adams, son of signatory John Adams—providing another layer of history, as well as wayfinding cues to assist with each piece’s location on the DC map.","brand":"Pomegranate ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46701661552830,"sku":"AA1232","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0297\/7982\/files\/AA1232_01.png?v=1783969674"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pomegranate.mom\/collections\/map-puzzles.oembed","provider":"Pomegranate ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
