The Cambridge Globe.
(Manufactured by Roplogle
Globes Inc.)
This elegant floor globe stands 38 inches (95 centimetres)
high.
The graceful style of this 16" raised relief, antique
style, ocean globe in a gyro-matic meridian, is complemented
by the classic design of its rich hardwood stand. (‘gyro-matic’
describes the globe as constructed so as to rotate in
both axes).
The globe is set at 23.5 degrees – reflecting the angle
of the Earth's tilt as it flies through space – and is
raised, elegantly, upon a single column supported on tripod
legs. This base, in a classic design, is finely fashioned
from rich hardwood and is available in two finishes; Oak
or Walnut.
Adding graphic interest to the globe, with its four thousand
place names (approximately), the current, raised relief
political map is enhanced in careful detail that invokes
a sense of history. You will find evocative drawings of
historic ships that represent the bold spirit of exploration
that made global knowledge possible.
Lurking in the deep, you may see drawings of fierce, mutant
sea creatures much feared by the courageous seafaring
folk in the 14th and 15th centuries, at a time when sailing
right off the edge of the world was a real possibility.
The tasteful ornamentation of the Cambridge globe recommends
it to the purchaser seeking to have the modern presentation
of our current world set in a context that reminds us
of our world in the past.
If you can imagine how these world
globes would look standing in a space that you may
have in mind, you may wish to buy it...and the ‘Cambridge’
globe doesn’t cost the earth.
