About the Item

Earth globe published for the Dutch market in the early 20th century by the Columbus publishing house, the cartouche reads: Dr. R. Neuse's Aardglobe. Nederlandsche bewerking van R.E. KALTOFEN Leeraar Rijks H.B.S. Utrecht UITGAVE ERVEN J. BIJLEVELD. Utrecht. Columbus-Verlag G.m.b.H. Berlin Lichterfelde. In addition to the spatial map, ocean currents and major trade routes of the period are depicted. Papier mache sphere complete with engraved brass graduated meridian, oak basket base with compass at base. Good condition conservative restoration signs of use. Sphere diameter 30 cm, base 48x62 cm. Founded in 1909 in Berlin by Paul Oestergaard, grandson of Peter J. Oestergaard, who manufactured globes in the late 1800s, Columbus is the oldest globe manufacturer, still working today, in the world. During more than a century, Columbus has been innovating the globe manufacturing industry, and the experience accumulated over 4 generations has enabled Columbus to achieve the status of the world's leading globe manufacturer. 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 King Louis XV of France, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, thanks to the practice he had gained in globe making, expanded the "Globe" article in 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. It will be with the 1800s that great commerce, the movement of men and goods, and the introduction of compulsory schooling will make the old method of globe construction inadequate. Spindles printed from engraved plates are no longer sufficient, and the new resource becomes lithography with 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.
