Oceans are green, geographical entities shaded in green and various faded other colors, some geographic entities outlined in green. The Dakotas are named \u201cDAK\u201d as one territory, Oklahoma is shown as \u201cIND TER\u201d (Indian Territory) and Alaska is shown. \u201cSouth Pass, Longs Pk. and Pikes Peak\u201d are indicated in the Rocky Mountains.\u00a0 The outline of the southeastern point of Nevada extends to a full triangle, and Montana and Idaho are irregularly shaped. Isothermal lines, probably for January, are shown in blue, with associated degree numerals, but not indicated in key.\u00a0 Red isothermal lines are either not present or quite faded.\u00a0 Ocean currents are indicated in white. There is an elongated oval analemma.<\/p>\n

This globe is noteworthy for the use of Gothic motifs in the stand, in this case in the form of trefoils and quatrefoils.\u00a0 In America in the second half of the 19th century, there were numerous successive periods of revivals — designs based on traditional styles but with a Victorian interpretation. The use of motifs of the latest Victorian revival style, in this case Gothic Revival, is characteristic of American globes; designers of stands often would utilize the styles of decorative arts movements of the period.\u00a0 Moreover, iron was a favored material of American globe makers for use in stands.\u00a0 By contrast, well into the late 19th century, British globe makers favored mahogany or ebonized wood, and the stands that some of them produced were virtually identical to those of the earlier Georgian period or followed designs that had become popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.<\/p>\n

\n8-Inch Terrestrial Table Globe<\/strong>
\nChicago: c. 1880s
\nCast-iron stand
\n15 inches high<\/p>\n

The eight-inch terrestrial globe is surmounted by a simple triangular hour pointer, and has a printed north polar hour calotte, the Andrew’s type brass meridian with stationery outer ring and inner moveable ring, and the Andrew’s type 12-sided horizon band with engraved paper calendar and zodiac, each side corresponding to a sign of the zodiac with an illustration of it.\u00a0 The globe is raised on a cast-iron pierced tripod stand, the flat shaped supports and legs decorated in the Gothic-Revival taste with cut-out figures of trefoils and quatrefoils, and joined by a central cylinder-form standard with terminal tightening bolt and knob.\u00a0 The stand is subtly decorated with gold and green paint, probably original.<\/p>\n
