Q: What other kinds of celestial globes might be of interest to a collector?
|

Here is a teeny 3-inch celestial pocket globe, in its own little carrying case
(below center). It was made in London in the early 19th Century for British amateur astronomers.
Here is another London globe, by Newton, but it is mounted on a charming little stand
(below right). It looks like a miniature floor globe. In contrast, here is a full size
celestial floor globe made by Gilman Joslin of Boston in the late 19th Century
(below left), the same maker that produced the little pair of globes we saw earlier. You can
see that it has the lovely brightly colored constellation figures. |
