Terrestrial table globe. It forms a pair with the celestial globe, Valk GLB0103. Geographical details on the sphere include loxodromes drawn for 32 compass points. At the east coast of Greenland there are three notes in Dutch, and there is a comment in the north polar region. In central Asia, the Caspian Sea and Lake Aral are depicted and labelled. The extension of the northwest coast of America is labelled 'TERRA INCOGNITA sive MARE de ARAL'. California is drawn as an island, and Australia is drawn according to the Dutch discoveries. William Dampier's discoveries north of New Guinea are depicted 'NOVA BRITANNIA Detecta 1700' and 'Dampeirs Streights'. A total of nine oceans are named.
The present copy of this globe is cleverly restored, with parts of the gores replaced. The loxodromes around the South Pole are drawn by hand and other manuscript additions are part of the restoration. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
