Description
We have produced these superb globes on fine intricate bronze floor standing tripod stands, the design is taken from the same stand design that Charles Copley used, however it should be noted that Copley produced his stands in cast iron, this being the most readily available and economical material at the time.

Copley’s Terrestrial 1852
Charles Copley of New York, made his 16″ diameter terrestrial and celestial globes in 1852. Originally engraved on copper plate they soon won numerous awards and were justly described as ‘being prolific to the point of obscurity’.
Later in the 19th century two other American globemakers, Joslin and Moore & Nims, wisely updated Copley’s fine engravings in order to republish Copley’s work as their own. We have now republished this fine pair of early American terrestrial and celestial globes. They are presently available in their original 16″ diameter and will soon be available in larger formats.
