PAIR OF GERMAN TABLE GLOBES

[Johann Bernard Bauer, circa 1810] after Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1671-1750)

A rare pair of globes from Nuremberg's leading globe maker, marking the cusp between antiquity with the last appearance of Frisland's fictitious shores on a globe, and modernity with the display of the latest cartography from Australia.



Each globe made up of 24 hand-coloured engraved-half gores applied to the spheres; the Celestial untitled with stars given to six orders of magnitude, the gores laid to the celestial poles; the Terrestrial with cartouche to South Pacific Exprimit Globus hic noster quiduid Geographia recentisima ex observationibus fide dignis de ambitu terrarum mariumque hactenus exhibuit Meridianus primus per Insulam Fer inter Canarias occidentalissimam ductus, a quo Parisiensis Meridianus, probatissimarum observationum testimonio 20 Gradibus, Norimbergensis vero 28 Gr. 40 Min distat, the oceans marked with routes of several voyagers from Magellan to Cook, the antipodes of London marked, the Great Wall of China shown and part of the coast of Friesland delineated in the Atlantic; each supported in graduated brass meridian rings with original hour rings and pointers at north poles, sitting in oak stands with octagonal horizon rings laid with hand-coloured engraved calendrical scales.

18 x 18 x 18in. (46 x 45.5 x 45.5cm.)
