Terrestrial inflatable globe. Geographical details on the gores show the locations of the 'Antipodes of Greenwich', and 'Paris' and 'Munchen' are marked. There are two notes on the passage to India. Notes on discoveries include, for example, those in the north polar region, close to Greenland, in Africa and for Tasmania. In the oceans, there are a number of islands with text. A number of other explorers are labelled, for example Magellan 1521, Bermuda 1522 and Cano 1526. There are the tracks of the voyages of 11 explorers, including, for example, Cook 1768, 1771, 1772, 1778, Clerk 1779 and Gore 1780. The place of the mutiny of the Bounty in 1788 is indicated. A total of eight oceans are named.
It has been reported that a pamphlet with instructions for use, written by Anton Klein, was published with the globe in Munich, 1835. Two earlier works with the same title are recorded, one published in Munich in 183I by Cella, and another by J. L. Grimm, published in Berlin in 1832. The precise relation between these publications is as yet not clear.
The globe by Cella has more text with explanations and other records of discovery than the globe of Pocock, GLB0230, which served as its model. The overall measurement is for the globe when it is collapsed inside its box. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
