The cartography, style, and cartouche of Geographia globe gores are very similar to those produced by George Philip, Ltd., of London, one of the two major globe makers in Great Britain in the early 20th Century. Accordingly, it may be reasonably presumed that Philip produced these globe gores for Geographia, Ltd. This atlas-form stand was most likely provided by Geographia, and another model of atlas-form stand was also produced by Geographia in the same period. For more information on George Philip, please see our Guide to Globe Makers.
