Description
The Award-winning Antique Terrestrial White Globe is a must-have for history enthusiasts, showcasing an authentic 1790 vintage map by Giovanni Maria Cassini. This detailed globe vividly depicts continents, oceans, and the early United States—rarely seen on maps of its time.
It also highlights Captain James Cook’s three voyages and features a bold red ecliptic line marking the Sun’s annual path, blending historic charm with meticulous craftsmanship.
Recognized as the 2015 Luxury Gift of the Year, the globe rotates silently, powered by advanced solar cell technology using ambient indoor light or indirect sunlight—no batteries or wires required. Its precise latitude and longitude lines, paired with crisp white and green hues, offer a perfect balance of vintage aesthetics and modern clarity.
(Note: Antarctica is absent from the design, reflecting James Cook’s belief at the time that it did not exist.)
