This map is not political, it is purely an art project representing the art of Heraldry. For the most part with some rare exceptions, emblems and other type of non-heraldic symbols are NOT present on this map. Heraldry is an European tradition, therefore, Turkish, Ottoman, Seljuk and other non-European symbols are not present, purely because these cultures did not use Heraldic symbols to represent their nations / dynasties. In Heraldry, coat of arms are drawn based on it's blazon which means it is a written description, any illustration conforming with the blazon of the arms is considered to be Heraldically correct! Thus several different artistic interpretations of the same coat of arms can exist. The shield shape can also vary, depending on the choice of the author, as long as it conforms with Heraldic rules. The poster is printed on 82 cm × 71 cm (32.2″ × 27.9″) high quality coating paper - matte (230g).
