17th Century Table Globe
Back then only royalty and very affluent citizens were able to afford globes of this kind.

Mounted on an elaborate wood stand with turned supports and ball feet. Complete with printed horizon ring and functioning dry compass and bronze meridian circle.  The globe is hand made on a paper mache core, built up of twelve delicately coloured gores, with polar calottes and the oceans decorated with sailing ships.

The original maps used for the set of Terrestrial and Celestial maps were drawn by Gerardus Mercator in 1541 and were revolutionary in that age and time.
