The cartography and artwork have been produced to reflect an
ever changing world but delivered in a classic style to resemble
a British library globe from the 19th Century.
It incorporates the most recent changes to political boundaries
and up to date name changes.
As with all of the globes in our collection it has been produced
in the same way as it would’ve been in the heyday of British
globemaking, a papier mache sphere is skimmed with plaster
and sanded smooth to form the perfect surface to which the
map is then applied.
Shellac and lacquer form a perfect high gloss finish to this exquisite floor standing globe.
The globe is angled at 23.5 degrees within the aged brass meridian arm to replicate the Earth's axis. The mahogany stand is finished with gloss lacquer.
This globe has a diameter of 24 inches and stands at
158cms
