This petite Geographia terrestrial globe shows the refined English globe making skills at its best! Well preserved bright colors are defining towns, cities, coast lines, rivers, major railways and so much more. No doubt, a gentleman’s piece with its elegant baluster turned wood base and metal (un-engraved) half meridian. Politically also very interesting as it displays Central Australia, a state of which existed for only a few years! 

12 dull coated paper gores over pasteboard sphere secured in metal half meridian atop a turned mahogany base. Approx 10" Tall, 6" Diameter.

The globe is in expected condition for its age, as there is soiling and age toning throughout. The base is in good condition with some oxidation to the meridian and minor wear to the finish of the wood base.

The age of the globe has been identified by the political borders displayed: Persia, Central Australia, Constantinople, Manchuria, Arabia, Russia.
