A miniature 19th century 3.5 inch diameter pocket terrestrial globe by C. Abel-Klinger, Nuremberg, Germany, in English for the English speaking markets. Signed with cartouche reading "The Earth published by C. Abel-Klinger in Nuremberg." Two printed paper gores, continents outlined in color, equator and Grand Meridian delineated in checkered black and red, signed in the southern Indian Ocean. History of the maker: Klinger was an art dealer and engraver in Nuremberg, who published globes of various sizes. After his death, the firm was continued by his widow under the name 'J. Klinger's Kunsthandlung.' This name remained in use when Johann Paul Dreykorn (1805-75) bought the firm in 1831. When the merchant Carl Abel joined it in 1852, the name was changed to 'C. Abel Klinger'" (Dekker Globes at Greenwich p 384).
The terrestrial globe is surmounted by a brass hour pointer in a brass calibrated full meridian, mounted within a circular horizon band with an engraved paper calendar and zodiac. It is raised on a hardwood Stand having three legs joined by a medial stretcher. This globe was made by Gilman Joslin, successor to Josiah Loring's Boston globe making business. Drawn and engraved by W. B. Annin. Measures: 6 inch.

The Nürnberg Terrestrial Globe is the oldest existing scale model of Earth. Known as the Erdapfel (meaning "Earth apple"), it was created around 1492 by German explorer Martin Behaim and painter Georg Albrecht Glockenthon.
I'm thinking ahead to the time I work on the study / library / workspace in the WAHM. I really wanted the scientific gentleman of the house to have a nice terrestrial globe (among his other instruments) and decided to refinish a store-bought one to look more 17th century. STARTING POINT Here's the 3 inch (7.5 cm) globe and stand I bought -- it's by Euro Minis and it's dirt cheap :) Typical faux-mahogany stand, and a pretty garish globe, but the basics are usable. INSPIRATION! Here's my inspiration -- two 17th century globes and a Mercator projection circa 1665. One thing I love about miniatures (particularly working with a specific historical period) is how much I learn as I go along. At the time of this Mercator map they knew where western Australia was, something I didn't know. So recreating the inspirational globes led me to this process: 1. Take the globe apart (this was surprisingly easy, besides it's fun sort of wrecking stuff :)). 2. Paint the wood of the base a combination of burnt and raw umber to mimic walnut. Paint the legs black to mimic ebony. Give it two coats of satin varnish. 3. Paint the globe's support brass/bronze. 4. Repaint the globe itself, which took a while :) I painted the whole globe a dirty parchment colour, then roughed in the continents using the Mercator projection as a guide with a darker colour. Then I did a more detailed outline of the continents with a black pen, and finally cleaned up the sea/land meeting points and sketched in some "lettering". 5. Reassemble the globe, with axis straight up and down (as in reference images of globes). Since I had to break the original wooden stick that held the globe in place in its support, I used a length of brass wire as a replacement and I added a little flat brass spacer and bead just for detail. And here's the finished piece!

Martin Behaim, Portuguese Martim Behaim, orMartinho De Boémia, (born October 6, 1459, Nürnberg [Germany]—died July 29, 1507, Lisbon [Portugal]), navigator and geographer whose Nürnberg Terrestrial Globe is the earliest globe extant. Behaim first visited Portugal about 1480 as a merchant in the Flemish trade and, claiming to have been a pupil of the astronomer Johann Müller (Regiomontanus) at Nürnberg, became an adviser on navigation to King John II. He may have introduced the astrolabe of brass to replace wooden models of this instrument, then used in navigation to ascertain the altitudes of the Sun, Moon, and stars in order to

If you have any interest in TERRESTRIAL and CELESTIAL GLOBES then this is a Great Book for your collection. By JOS. SCHEDLER. Revised Edition NEW YORK: E. Steiger The original edition of this Rare book was printed in 1878. This Rare book is 87 pages full of information. The Manual is designed to afford a complete guide to the use of both the Terrestrial and Celestial Globe; and, while subserving this purpose, will prove a valuable aid in the acquisition of a general knowledge of both geographical and astronomical science. ****====================================================**** My Personal 100% Guarantee To You If you Buy this Book and after reading it, You feel that You did not get Your Money's worth from it, Message me and I will cancel your purchase and Refund Your Money. And You Can Keep The Book as My Personal Gift To You. ****====================================================**** Introductory. It must be quite obvious that the Globe is the most effective means of illustrating the general facts of geographical science. For the study of the minute details of small sections of the earth's surface, maps are, of course, more convenient; but it is only after the use of the globe that the latter become really available as helps to the study of geography. The Schedler Globes present many features that especially commend them to favor. Their scientific merit has never been disputed. They combine extreme lightness and elegance with the greatest possible durability. They form a very attractive ornament to the library, study, or drawing room. They are very useful in the merchant's office, and indispensable in the school-room. They supply the maximum of information compressible within their space, and yet extreme clearness is every-where observable. They are produced by a patented process at a price which places them within the reach of all. Formerly, many persons -were deterred for various reasons from purchasing Globes, notwithstanding their great and manifold advantages over maps as aids to education. Globes were heavy and cumbersome; they were made of such material as rendered them liable to get out of shape or to be easily broken; and, lastly, they were very expensive. Besides these material- drawbacks, the amount of information furnished by them was comparatively small. It required many years to remedy all these defects. But if the verdict of the most critical judges in the world has any weight, we are constrained to believe that these short-comings have been successfully met in the Globes for which this Manual is specially written. Paris, Vienna, and Philadelphia have decided the question of their superiority. The Gold Medal was awarded them at the Paris Ex-position of 1867, and the Medal of Merit at the Vienna Exhibition of 1873. The Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia has signally demonstrated their unrivalled excellence, in as much as they were the only Globes that there obtained an Award. The Manual is designed to afford a complete guide to the use of both the Terrestrial and Celestial Globe; and, while subserving this purpose, will prove a valuable aid in the acquisition of a general knowledge of both geographical and astronomical science. ====================================== This scarce antiquarian book is included in our special Rare Books Recycled Series.
