Globes France No 07 (1978)

Do you collect antique or vintage terrestrial globes? Perhaps you like to see how older world globes show the political boundaries of their times. It is fascinating to see how countries and cities have changed their names over the decades, and the results of wars that have moved boundaries. Some people collect globes because they often show the tracks and routes that explorers took as they learned about our planet. Others collect world globes because they are beautiful to look at.

The following dates will help you "date your globe" and determine how old it might be. These dates were compiled from Internet and book sources by Kate Register of Rice, Virginia. This is a work in progress, and should not be quoted without verification. Remember, globe manufacturers did not always change the names of countries and boundaries immediately.

Globes are three-dimensional representations of the earth. But if you want to reproduce the globe realistically you should create a relief globe that also considers the terrain surface of the earth. At times vertical exaggeration is employed to make the relief globes more perceivable. Even Mt. Everest would be so tiny on a globe of a diameter of some decimetres that it is inevitable to exaggerate a relief globe. The larger the scale, the less the exaggeration can be. Most suitable is a carefully chosen graduated exaggeration, which emphasizes the flat regions like coastal areas and hilly landforms without distorting the high mountains too much [1]. Often, on relief globes both the landmasses and the sea floor are moulded.

Not only the surface of the earth has been depicted in relief globes, but also other orbs were constructed as models. The first known relief globes were models of one half of the moon [4] and in the 1960s the moon landing expeditions were prepared using lunar relief models; whole globes [5] and sections were envisaged as landing places [6]. 041b061a72
