Creator	Karlheinz Wagner (1941)	Nedjeljko Frančula (1971)
Group	Lenticular	Lenticular
Property	Equal-area	Equal-area
Other Names	Hammer-Wagner	—
Remarks	My personal favourite among the equal-area projections! :-)	A Wanger VII variant, derived by Umbeziffern from the equatorial azimuthal equal-area projection, minimized distortion by application of the Airy-Kavrayskiy criterion. For more information, refer to my blogpost The Frančula Projections or Frančula’s original paper Die vorteilhaftesten Abbildungen in der Atlaskartographie (German).
