Antique Terrestrial Self-Rotating Globe
Antique Terrestrial Self-Rotating Globe
The Antique Terrestrial White globe combines a vintage map created in 1790 with modern updates that make it unlike any globe you've seen before. Every continent and ocean is shown with absolute clarity and contrast, and it features lines showing the three voyages of Captain James Cook–a design element first created in 1790 by Giovanni Maria Cassini. The map also shows the United States which was very young at the time and not included on many maps. With its smooth, independent rotations, it's like history comes to life in your home or office.
From its distinctive graphics to its advanced technology, it only takes one look to realize this self-rotating globe is something special. It rotates with no batteries or wires using first-of-its-kind technology. Each globe has a transparent outer shell that remains stationary while an internal shell spins using advanced magnets for torque and solar cells to power the movement. Just turn on any light and the globes wake up and begin to rotate. 6” Globe with Acrylic 3-Legged Stand. Optional Crystal Stand Available.
