Professor Dr. Arthur Krause had taken over the Räth company, a globe-making firm founded in 1917 by Paul Räth (1881-1929), after the death of its founder. La ditta è operativa ancora oggi, essendo sopravvissuta a due guerre mondiali e alla dissoluzione della DDR. Some of the Räth company's globes are on display in important museums, such as the first electrically lit globe, from 1921, on display at the Globe Museum of the Vienna National Library.
The earliest known globe is the one attributed by Strabo, 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.
