Carl Adami (1802-1874) founded Adami and Co. in Berlin with a military friend and began selling globes in 1838. He was famous for his 34-cm terrestrial globes of 1838. In 1852 Dietrich Reimer took over the company, but Adami continued to work as a cartographer.
The firm Verlag Dietrich Reimer (1818-1899) was an important globe manufacturer between the 19th and 20th centuries, founded in Berlin in 1845. In 1852 the firm bought C. Adami & Co., another globe-making firm, and so Adami (1802-1874) became a cartographer for Reimer, updating the firm's globes. That same year Heirich Kiepert (1818-1899) was hired, and this cartographer brought further innovations to the design of the Reimer globes. Reimer retired in 1891, and the company continued under the direction of E. Vohsen, producing globes until the 1960s.
The earliest known globe is the one attributed by Strabo, a historian and geographer, to the Greek Cratetes of Mallo (c.a. 150 B.C.). The first globes in the early 16th century were built under the impetus of the great geographical explorations and immediately began to be used for educational purposes at princely courts, monasteries, and colleges; the globe later began to conquer university circles and high and lower schools. In the 18th century, the official geographer of Louis XV King of France, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, thanks to the practice he had gained in globe-making, expanded the "Globe" article of the Encyclopédie by detailing the distinction between a celestial globe (representing the concave surface of the sky with its constellations) and a terrestrial globe (representing instead the surface of the Earth with its seas, islands, rivers, cities, etc.) and the techniques for making them: two papier-mâché hemispheres pressed and molded on or inside a hemispherical mold, dried and strengthened inside with a wooden board, then glued and covered with a thin layer of plaster on which the globe spindles of areas between two meridians, usually twelve, were pasted, made of paper previously printed by engraving on a copper plate and colored, each covering 30 degrees of longitude. It will be with the nineteenth century of great commerce, circulation and the introduction of compulsory schooling that the desire to learn about distant countries will increase, making the old method of globe construction inadequate. Spindles printed from engraved plates no longer suffice, and the only real resource becomes lithography through which it is possible to print and update maps in a timely manner, which as more and more geographical discoveries are made in different countries become obsolete faster and faster.
