Holbrook 3" School Globe
A Charles W. Holbrook 3 inch hinged globe from 1858. Partial map loss can be seen here.
In addition to map loss was the presence of tape used to retain loose sections, which had to be gently removed.
A combination PH neutral solutions were used to clean the globe and then re-touching sections that may have suffered colour loss.
After many hours re-touching images using photoshop the replacement sections were ready to be applied.
With a globe such as this we felt it important to leave as much patina as possible.
Some American globe makers were still referring to New Holland as late as 1870.
The exterior of the globe was generally sound but bore the marks of having been well used.
A similar globe was traced to the Boston Public Library who kindly sent photographs so missing sections could be filled.
Once applied , the replacement sections were sealed and hand coloured to match.
The repaired globe was then re-lacquered and lightly waxed to hopefully leave the globe looking untouched.
This globe can be purchased from http://omniterrum.com
