Dietrich Reimers Erdglobus,
dated 1910
Reimers was one of the
most prolific German Globe makers of the 19th
century and set the standard high for other globe
makers to follow. The map of this splendid aged
piece of history speaks of an era long gone, filled
with empires, kingdoms and the birth of early
democracy. The attractive detailed mounting with
enclosed compass demonstrates the classic German
attribute of attention to detail. A masterpiece
throughout.
