Oceans are cream colored. Geographical entities are colored tan or shades of faint green, some with thick green or thin red outlining. A figure-eight “Improved Analemma, Shewing the Suns for every day in the Year” is in the ocean. The printed northern hour circle polar calotte is numbered I to XII twice. St. Louis, New Orleans, Houston, Salt Lake City, Portland, Monterey, Santa Fe and San Diego are shown west of the Mississippi in the United States. The Baja California is called “Old California,” Alaska is called “Russian America,” and Northern Canada is labeled “British America” with the western portion labeled “Black Feet Inds.” Other interesting geography includes India labeled “Hindoostan,” the central part of southern Africa labeled “Unexplored” and the Sahara called “Great Desert.” Antarctica was still relatively unexplored, with only few small sections of the coastline indicated.<\/p>\n

This globe was made by Gilman Joslin, successor to Josiah Loring\u2019s Boston globe making business. Read more about Joslin in our Guide to Globe Makers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
