Subasta Bidspirit | Cram's Terrestrial Globe w/ Meridian

Cram's Terrestrial Globe w/ Meridian - A terrestrial desktop globe featuring printed paper gores over a composition orb. The globe is mounted within a full, degree-graduated metal meridian ring and supported by a turned, black-painted base. The cartography reflects mid-20th century geopolitical borders, including colonial territories such as French West Africa, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and Belgian Congo, as well as the Empire of Japan. The surface includes red-lined nautical shipping routes with distance notations and a yellow-outlined analemma located in the Pacific Ocean. A printed cartouche in the South Atlantic is applied to the surface; it features the heading CRAM'S in red uppercase letters, though the smaller text beneath it is not clearly legible due to surface wear and paper loss. The meridian arm is secured to the base and the top of the orb with metal hardware. Overall height: 15.5 inches Orb diameter: 12 inches.
