Titled by the manufacturer the “Political Reality” globe, it shows political subdivisions, and was edited by Edith Putnam Parker.\u00a0 As indicated in the legend, this globe shows the relative population sizes of cities with shaded circles graduated in diameter.\u00a0 The legend also displays the symbols for international and state boundaries, steamship lines, railroads, canals, ocean currents, and mountain peaks.<\/p>\n

Edith Putnam Parker co-authored a series of social studies and geography textbooks that were used by North American schoolchildren from the 1920s to the 1950s.\u00a0 These texts were all collaborations with Harlan Harland Barrows, and sometimes a third author.\u00a0 Parker and Barrows were apparently both faculty members at the University of Chicago.\u00a0 Barrows, an early leader in the field of historical geography, advocated the teaching of what he called “human ecology” — that physical geography should primarily be studied in relation to man and his activities; it can be surmised that Parker shared that perspective.\u00a0 She edited a line of educational globes for Weber Costello that were in print from the 1930s to the 1960s.<\/p>\n

The terrestrial globe is set within a full graduated metal meridian turning in a meridian fork. It is raised on a mahogany Duncan Phyfe style stand with a central turned baluster standard decorated with carved classical leaves, on four splayed legs ending in carved paw feet.\u00a0 Oceans were originally blue — now faded to green — and geographical entities are in a variety of colors.<\/p>\n
