Description
Mercator Terrestrial Globe by Authentic Models Mercator Terrestrial Globe Take a look at the world through the eyes of a 16th century explorer. Sail the oceans and discover unkown lands. Geradus Mercator (1512-1594) studied at the ancient University of Louvain, then Netherlands, now Belgium. He published his first terrestrial globe around 1536 which introduced new concepts for navigation. The oceans and seas were covered with 'rhumb-lines', which assisted in setting a course. The 'Mercator" projection translated a spherical chart onto a two-dimensional sheet of paper, so revolutionary, it was used until very recently. This globe features hand applied charts perfectly reproduced from Mercator’s originals. The globe is held by a bronzed semi-circle bracket on a wood stand. It offers a faithful reproduction of beautiful cartography. Dimensions: Diameter: 12.5 in. (32 cm) Height: 23.25 in. (59 cm) Gift packaged.
