Item Details
A Replogle 10’ reference globe and framed foil globe art, designed and edited by Gutav Brueckmann. It has a metal time dial and the globe both tilts and rotates. Dated by locations on Replogle website as 1949; see additional information. Also included is a framed colorful Blaeu wall map depicting Europe’s knowledge of the world circa 1665.
