About the Item

Small globe published in the second half of the 19th century by cartographer Ludw. Jul. Heymann. Papier maché ball and turned and ebonized wood base. Height cm 16,- inches 6.5, sphere diameter cm 7 - inches 2.8. Good state of preservation. Ludwig Julius Heymann was a globe-making company in Berlin; the earliest known examples are dated 1844. The company made globes in different sizes from 5 to 40 centimeters, globe-clocks and some astronomical models. Curiosity 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.
