| Description |
English: Terrestrial facsimile globe gores Terrestrial facsimile globe gores. Geographical details on the gores are the same as Behaim GLB0253. There are numerous symbols for cities and mountain ridges, huts for local inhabitants and flags with coats of arms, animals and ships. The map represents the world as it was known before 1492. Along the latitude scale there are explanations for the length of day for various latitudes and the astrological symbols for the planets. A total of six oceans are named. The gores are a copy to scale of a rare facsimile of Martin Behaim's 1492 globe, printed by George Philip & Son, London 1908 and in Washington D.C. in December 1986. For full details about the cartography and construction of these gores please refer to the related publication, Globes at Greenwich. |
