The terrestrial globe surmounted by top-form finial, within an uncalibrated half meridian with a brass finish, raised on a turned ebonized wooden stand, with central standard and dish base. Certain regions are colored red/pink, apparently to indicate areas belonging to the British Empire, although they are not noted as such.
George Philip & Son began as a map and atlas publisher in Liverpool, England in 1834. In 1902, the firm relocated to London and emerged as one of the major globe producers of the 20th century. Read more on our Guide to Globe Makers.
