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.
