About the Item

Globo tedesco Columbus Erdglobus dei cartografi C. Luther e R. Neuse, degli anni trenta. Oltre alla mappa territoriale sono raffigurate le correnti oceaniche e le principali rotte commerciali del periodo. Base in legno tornito completa del cerchio del meridiano in ottone inciso, con bussola inserita sulla base, sfera in cartapesta. Buono stato e molto buona la leggibilità, qualche segno di uso. Altezza cm 65 – 25.6 inches, diametro sfera cm 30 – 11.8 inches. Curiosità Fondata nel 1909 a Berlino da Paul Oestergaard, nipote di Peter J. Oestergaard che produceva globi alla fine dell'800, la Columbus è la più antica casa costruttrice di globi, che lavora ancora oggi, al mondo. Durante più di un secolo la Columbus ha innovato l'industria della manifattura di globi e l'esperienza accumulata in 4 generazioni ha permesso alla Columbus di raggiungere lo status di principale produttore di globi del mondo. Il primo globo terrestre di cui si ha notizia è quello attribuito da Strabone, storico e geografo, al greco Cratete di Mallo (c.a. 150 a.C.). I primi globi agli inizi del XVI sec. furono costruiti sotto la spinta delle grandi esplorazioni geografiche ed iniziarono da subito ad essere impiegati per scopi didattici presso corti principesche, monasteri e collegi; il globo comincia in seguito a conquistare gli ambienti universitari e le scuole superiori ed inferiori. Nel XVIII secolo, il geografo ufficiale di Luigi XV re di Francia, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, grazie alla pratica acquisita nella costruzione dei globi, ampliò l’articolo “Globe” dell’Encyclopédie illustrando dettagliatamente la distinzione tra un globo celeste (che rappresenta la superficie concava del cielo con le sue costellazioni) e un globo terrestre (che rappresenta invece la superficie della Terra con i mari, le isole, i fiumi, le città, ecc.) e le tecniche per realizzarli. Sarà con l’800 che il grande commercio, la circolazione di uomini e merci e l’introduzione dell’obbligo scolastico renderanno inadeguato il vecchio metodo di costruzione dei globi. Fusi stampati da lastre incise non sono più sufficienti e la nuova risorsa diventa la litografia con la quale è possibile stampare e aggiornare tempestivamente carte che col crescere delle scoperte geografiche effettuate nei vari paesi diventano obsolete sempre più rapidamente.
