No Renaissance library, reception room, or merchant's office was complete without a large globe on a stand. Mapmakers and globe publishers issued new globes every year, keeping clients up to date on the latest discoveries and explorations. New trade routes, new ports of call...even new continents! This 12.5 inch (32 cm) globe with floor stand is the classical form used over the centuries. Hand-applied, exact map reproductions, 12 sections make one whole papier-mâché sphere finished in plaster of Paris.
