A brief history of the Old World Floor Globe
The exterior of the globe features hand-laid paper which is applied in a manner similar to the application of wall paper. As the paper is laid on the spherical globe, care is taken to ensure that the lines of latitude do not meet precisely. This is normal and the globes of that era were produced in this manner. The map on the globe is based on 16th century maps of the world as it was known at that time. As a result, incongruities with modern knowledge of the continents should be expected. These incongruities are typically visible only on close detailed inspection. These features of the globe testify to its authenticity as a true work of art.
