German Cartographic Institute globe Dietrich Reimers Berlin 1954

About the Item

Earth globe published by the German cartographic institute Dietrich Reimers Berlin 1954. In addition to the very well delineated spatial map, ocean currents and major trade routes of the period are shown. Rectangular wooden base complete with meridian circle. Good condition, excellent readability. Height 34 cm - 13.3 inch, ball diameter 23 cm - 9 inch. 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 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. In the 18th century, the official geographer of King Louis XV of France, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, thanks to the practice he had gained in globe making, expanded the "Globe" article of the Encyclopédie by explaining in great detail the difference 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, allowed to dry and reinforced inside with a wooden board, then glued together and covered with a thin layer of plaster on which the globe spindles of areas between two meridians, usually twelve, each covering 30 degrees of longitude, made of paper that had previously been printed by engraving on a copper plate and then colored, were pasted.
