The terrestrial globe in calibrated gilt metal half meridian, raised on a wooden stand with turned central standard and round base. Oceans green, geographic entities in a variety of colors, place names in English. In original pink cardboard box. St. Petersburg, Russia, is shown as Petrograd, indicating a date of production of 1914-1924, though possibly issued shortly thereafter without a proper change in cartography. The globe was probably intended for the American market to be used by students.
