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 metal hour circle and supported by an inclination arm on a faux-bronze tripod iron stand with raised foliate decoration and cabochons between the cabriole legs, ending in paw feet. Oceans are blue (now greenish), geographic entities are a variety of muted colors. Petrograd is shown as the name for present day St. Petersburg, indicating a date from 1914 to 1924, a decade encompassing World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution. Isothermal lines for January (blue) and July (red) are shown and indicated in the key. White lines show ocean currents, but are not indicated in the key.
