Description
Interstingly enough this globe is 106 cm diameter which is the same diameter as the Coronelli Globe, clearly there appears to be some international understanding relating to the larger sizes of published globes!
Original surviving globes are now extremely rare. The images here are of a Henze Globe we have made using Henze’s original gores.
I do not think I have experienced such trouble in making a globe from original gores, this is because Adolf Henze published his gores on the finest hard glazed tissue which was extremely thin and fragile.
Henze’s Globe 1885
The publisher Adolf Henze, published since 1865, the magazine “Illustrated Scoreboard for Contor and Bureau”. Between 1885 and 1890 the magazine included at irregular intervals the segments for a 106 cm large impressive German terrestrial globe.
The completed strips could, if sent to the publisher, for a fee, mounted onto a sphere or supplied with a pneumatic kit to enable home assembly by inflation.
