The New International Atlas

The jubilee and expanded edition of The New International Atlas from 1980, published by the famous cartographic company Rand McNally, is considered one of the most respected and accurate world atlases of the 20th century. Created in collaboration with top international cartographic experts, this atlas stands out for its unique multilingual approach – all key terms, legends and indexes are printed in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

The atlas is recognizable by its large format, superb graphics and standardized map scale that allows for easier comparison of different regions of the world.
