An attractive medium-sized table globe, on a traditional cast iron cabriole leg stand, appropriate for desk or shelf display. The terrestrial globe is surmounted by a tin hour circle, canted at an angle in calibrated full meridian, on a tripod iron stand with raised foliate decoration and cabochons between the cabriole legs, ending in paw feet. Oceans are blue, geographic entities are cream-colored or faded green. Ocean currents are indicated by white or blue lines. There are strong blue isothermal lines; the red isothermal lines are faded. The gores (maps on globe’s surface) were printed by the British firm of G.W. Bacon, imported and manufactured into globes by the American firm Weber Costello, and sold by C.S. Hammond. The Weber Costello triangular cipher is printed above the cartouche.
