Terrestrial Globe by Ludwig Julius Heymann - Berlin - circa 1880

The globe still bears its original cartouche reading "Erd-Globus, Berlin, Ludw.Jul. Heymann" and retains its richly detailed printed geographical surface.
The particularly lightweight sphere is made using a traditional technique, with printed cartographic sections applied to a papier-mâché structure. It rests on a remarkable wooden base.

A compass is inserted into the wooden base.

The cartographic surface shows visible signs of age and wear, with rubbing, scratches, marks, discoloration, and some surface losses, all consistent with its age and long use. This authentic patina gives it considerable character while revealing a remarkable amount of geographical detail.

Height: 20 cm
