About the Item

Piccolo globo terrestre edito da Räths Politischer Erdglobus disegnato e delineato dal Porf Arthur Krause negli anni cinquanta. Sfera in cartapesta e base in legno tornito. Altezza cm 16 – 6.2 inch, diametro sfera cm 11 – 4.3 inch. Buono stato, ottima leggibilità. Il Professor Dottor Arthur Krause aveva rilevato la ditta Räth, una casa costruttrice di globi fondata nel 1917 da Paul Räth (1881-1929), dopo la morte del suo fondatore. La ditta è operativa ancora oggi, essendo sopravvissuta a due guerre mondiali e alla dissoluzione della DDR. Alcuni globi della ditta Räth sono esposti in importanti musei, come ad esempio il primo globo illuminato a energia elettrice, del 1921, in mostra al Globe Museum della Vienna National Library. 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: due semisfere di cartapesta pressate e modellate sopra o dentro uno stampo emisferico, essiccate e rafforzate all’interno con un’asse di legno, quindi incollate e ricoperte di uno strato sottile di gesso su cui venivano incollati i fusi del globo di zone comprese tra due meridiani, generalmente dodici, in carta precedentemente stampata da incisione su lastra di rame e colorati, ciascuno dei quali coprente 30 gradi di longitudine. Sarà con l’Ottocento del grande commercio, della circolazione e dell’introduzione dell’obbligo scolastico che il desiderio di conoscere paesi lontani aumenterà rendendo inadeguato il vecchio metodo di costruzione dei globi.
