Geographic entities, with simple cartography, are colored in tones of green, yellow, pink, orange, purple. Oceans are cream colored, sometimes with a slight greenish cast. Lindbergh\u2019s transatlantic route in 1927 and steamship routes are indicated. The puzzle pieces are in various colors with very simple cartography emphasizing countries — place names are shown in raised relief letters.<\/p>\n

The Geographic Educator was promoted by its manufacturer in the original instructional brochure as \u201cThe Invention of the Century\u201d and \u201cThe World in Pieces.\u201d Although at the time it was manufactured as a toy for children, it is now considered highly desirable by adult globe collectors.<\/p>\n
