Description Terrestrial table globe. It forms a pair with the celestial globe, Mercator GLB0097.
This globe, and GLB0097, have been described as the most important pair of globes made in the 16th century. Both globes are outstanding on account of many novel features, including their exquisite lettering, and most importantly, because of their influence on other globe makers of the period.
