Terrestrial table globe. It forms a pair with the celestial globe, Anich GLB0078. Geographical details on the sphere show California drawn as a peninsula. There is a hypothetical southern continent, which is labelled 'Terra Australis', and indicated by a small contour. Twelve discoveries are reported including three in the north polar region, four in South America, four in Australia and one in North Australia that reads 'N. Britannia detecta per Dampierum 1700'. A total of five oceans are named. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
