In 1507 Martin Waldseemuller published a small woodblock print of 12 terrestrial globe gores. The printed area was fourteen by seven inches and was designed to make the earliest surviving printed paper globe. This is a 3″ globe.
All our globes are handmade with traditional techniques so there may be slight variations in the globe size and colour. For all Shipping outside the United Kingdom please contact us.
Our products are all made to order. Large globes can take 6-18 months to complete. Smaller globes can take 2-4 weeks.
Despite numerous copies being published (believed to be at least 1000 copies), no surviving globe has survived and only 3 original sets of gores have survived. Our globe is made in collaboration with the James Ford Bell Library in Minneapolis. U.S.A.
