Pair of Philip & Son Globes, circa 1946
Located in London, GB
A wonderful set of Terrestrial and Celestial 12 inch globes by George Philip and Son. Presented on brass inclined plain mounts attached to original turned ebonized wooden bases and uprights with axes secured at the top by brass acorn finials. Unusually, the terrestrial globe has a copyright date shown under the cartouche, 1946.
The celestial globe is printed in beige against a dark blue background and shows the constellations and many named stars. Solid lines connect the stars within constellations rather than illustrating them as mythological and other figures.? A cartouche is present that includes the title and maker's address.
When looking at the stars from Earth the viewpoint is effectively inside a celestial sphere. The surface of a celestial globe shows the star field as a projection viewed from the outside and is therefore reversed, with the constellations appearing as their mirror images.
The terrestrial globe is printed in several colours and comprises of twelve coated lithographic paper gores with polar calottes over a twelve inch card sphere. The age of the globe has been confirmed by the political borders and named cities displayed. The globe is nicely detailed and has a grid network of parallels and meridians. It shows all the continents and countries as they were at the time it was printed and also indicates all the principal steamship routes with distances in nautical miles. The globe also has a printed Analemma - a diagram showing the declination of the Sun for every day in the year and the equation of time. The Analemma therefore shows the position of the Sun in the sky as seen from a fixed location on Earth at the same mean solar time, as the sun's position varies over the course of a year. A cartouche is present that includes the title and maker's address.
Dimensions of each globe: 30.5 cm/12 inches (diameter) x 59 cm/23 1/4 inches (max height).
George Philip, (1800–1882) was a cartographer and map publisher. He founded George Philip & Sons in 1834 in Liverpool primarily as a bookseller and stationer, but rapidly expanding to become a publisher of primarily maps, atlases and educational works. He had one son, also George (1823–1902), who was admitted to the business in 1848.
George senior was born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire and by 1819 he had become assistant to the Liverpool bookseller, William Grapel before going on to start his own business. He used cartographers (such as John Bartholomew the elder, August Petermann, and William Hughes) to produce maps on copper plates. Philip then had these printed and hand-coloured by his women tinters. The business expanded rapidly and by the time he produced his county maps of 1862 he was using machine...

1948 Official "Texas Brags" Vintage Map of North America
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a uniquely Texas-centered, tongue-in-cheek map of the United States, published in 1948. The map reflects a massive Texas, prominently occupying the center and south of the United States, with all other states squeezed to the northeast and northwest. In fact, the Northeastern states are humorously shown as "unannexed territory" and the western states as "ceded territory."
The map is populated with decorative accents and colorful, humorous pictographs. They include a tornado, called "interpanhandle wheat harvester", the “orneriest rattlesnakes", and a rodeo cowboy described as “the man that couldn't be throw'd and the horse that couldn't be rode." The pictographs boast the best of everything in Texas: "prickliest pears," "most cantankerous coyotes," “unloansome pines,” and similar. Along the border illustrations are depictions of Texas life and history, including The Alamo and San Jacinto Monument as well as more modern skyscrapers. The map is drawn to a scale of “1 inch = 5 Texas Grapefruit.”
The map was published in Texas by John Randolph with Mark Storm...
