Aardglobe in stoel 1792

This terrestrial globe, created by Johann Georg Klinger in 1792, stands on a hexagonal wooden base with a star-shaped platform and four turned legs. The globe itself has a diameter of 32 cm and is mounted on a brass meridian ring. The globe's surface is covered with detailed cartography, representing the world as it was known in the late 18th century. Klinger, born in 1764 and active until his death in 1806, was a skilled mapmaker and globe maker, known for his meticulous attention to detail and accurate depiction of geographical features. This globe serves as a valuable historical artifact, reflecting the state of geographical knowledge and cartographic techniques of the time.
