Summary
| Description |
English:
World map with names in Finnish.
The text in the lower left corner of the map says “Maapallon valtiollinen kartta (Mercatorin projektsioni) Ekvaattorinn mittakaava 1:100,000,000”, which means world map in Mercator's projection, map scale at the equator is 1 to 100 million. The equator on the printed map measures 395 mm (0.395 meters, 15.5 inches, should be 4650 pixels since it was scanned in 300 dpi resolution), so this appears to be correct.
