WorldWise
Winner of the 2003 Library Fellows award.
WorldWise juxtaposes copies of visually and historically rich 19th-century maps with ancient proverbs from all corners of the earth. Thirty-two proverbs from cultures as diverse as Australian Aboriginal, Yiddish and Tibetan are presented in four small folded-book sections against a backdrop of old-world maps. The assembled book is a circle within a square, the circular shape of the case representing the world and the four book sections its four corners. Each of the four maps opens to form a four-point star and closes to a square that is housed in one of four compartments of the circular case. Product ID#: 1294
