A Grand Rand McNally Art Nouveau
Statement Dated 1894
This Globe is a fine and large
example of superb craftsmanship. Attention to detail is
evident throughout the mounting. Note the glass ball footing
encased by eagle claws and splendid Art Nouveau lines with
a copperized finish.The perfectly aged patina of the map
provides a warm glow to the orb. The map itself highlights
the fine globe making skills of the past and the legend
documents Empires one can only read of in History books.
A true Masterpiece of an Era long
gone. A twin of this model can be fount in the Globe museum
of the National Library of Austria.
