omschrijvingTerrestrial floor globe. Geographical details on the sphere include certain regions delineated by dotted lines, some drawn in red, some in green. The south polar region is empty. The discoveries of 1832-33 by Biscoe are not yet recorded. Notes on discoveries or other comments are not included. A total of six oceans are named. Of the globes of 800 mm in circumference, three states have been distinguished including a set of gores dated 1839, another set of gores without a complete date but which can be dated to circa 1845 and one globe of 1846. The present globe clearly represents an earlier state, if not the first of 1835. Previously it was catalogued as being by Renaud. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
