EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Early English terrestrial globe, dating back to circa 1673. Crafted by the skilled hands of William Berry and Robert Morden, this remarkable piece is a testament to the artistry and scientific knowledge of its time. Standing at a height of 53 cm, it is a true marvel. The globe itself consists of twelve meticulously hand-colored engraved gores and two polar calottes. Its cartouche proudly proclaims "A New TERRESTRIAL GLOBE" emphasizing its novelty and accuracy. The dedication to the reader further highlights the importance placed on education and exploration during this era. Every detail on this globe has been carefully considered - from the graduated equator, ecliptic, and meridian through the Azores to the beautifully adorned continents depicting animals and natives. The seas are brought to life with intricate illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and rhumb lines. Notable features include Australia partially delineated in the west and north regions, California portrayed as an island, China showcasing rivers and major cities eastward from the Great Wall, as well as Southern Greenland depicted as a series of islands. Supported by a graduated brass meridian ring fitting into a horizon ring with engraved calendrical scales, this extraordinary piece rests upon a walnut and oak stand featuring six legs with turned twists united by cross stretchers under central plate. Six bun feet add stability while maintaining elegance. This stunning photograph captures not only an important historical artifact but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about our world's vast wonders.
