About the Item

An antique miniature desk terrestrial globe produced by the renowned cartographer and publisher Abel Klinger in Nuremberg, circa 1820. The globe consists of printed paper gores applied over a sphere, depicting world geography with fine detail for its scale. It is mounted on a metal half-meridian ring. The sphere retains its original cartouche reading: "THE EARTH published by Abel Klinger in NUREMBERG". The sphere is supported by a baluster-turned common pear wood (Pyrus communis L) wood column on a shaped tripartite base resting on bun feet, made out of ebony wood, Diospyros Ebenum (J. Koenig 1781). An extraordinary example of early 19th-century German miniature cartography from the Biedermeier period, ideal for scientific instrument collectors or a Cabinet of Curiosities (Wunderkammer).
