Diameter globes: 12 inches / 30,5 cm. Total height: 27,5 inches / 70 cm. Full titles: Newton’s New and Improved Terrestrial Globe Embracing every recent Discovery to the Present Time. Manufactured by Newton & Son, 66 Chancery Lane. London, Published Jan: 1st, 1841. Newton’s New and Improved Celestial Globe On which all the Stars Nebulae and Clusters contained in the extensive Catalogue of the late F. Woolaston F.R.S. are accurately laid down, their Right Ascensions and Declinat[ions] having been recalculated for the Year 1830, by W. Newton. Manufactured by Newton and Son, Chancery Lane. London Published Jan 1st 1841. The Terrestrial globe: This globe consists of twelve copperplate, original hand coloured varnished gores, expertly crafted onto the papier-mache globe itself. Gores are the printed panels with curved sides that taper to a point at each end, making up a surface of the globe. They are designed to give a complete three-dimensional map when cut and adhered to the globe. The paper horizon ring shows the months of the year, and the days within each month, plus stars and constellations, along with the names of the zodiac. The globe has a brass hour circle fitted above the north pole. By turning this thin, small metal circle (divided evenly into 24 segments), you can calculate the time difference between various locations on the globe. The globe also features a fully metal graduated meridian ring - a ring that arches 360 degrees around the globe and passes over the two poles. The ring is quartered in four by 90-degree quadrants and constellations. Straddling the equator circle, in the Pacific Ocean region, you will find the Analemma. The Analemma extends between the points 23.5 north and 23.5 south only, or between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. The region between these lines is known as the tropics. The Sun's rays do not fall vertically outside the tropics. The globe sits above a three-legged mahogany tripod, with a turned base and delightful and elegant tapered feet. The title of the globe is found in the North Pacific Ocean. The globe has an attractive patina because of its age, and is in full original hand colour. Some regions of the world are coloured in a muted green, but for the most part an off-white colour is seen. Some political and country borders are delineated by a thin pale red line. The United States is divided into East and West via the Mississippi River. Mexico extends northwards into Texas, New Mexico and California. Many native American Indian tribal lands are mentioned: Snake Indians, Chepawans, StrongBow (Canada), Fall Indians, Assimboins, Hare Indians (Canada). Old place names are evident in Canada and the United States - many betray the Spanish presence in Mexico at the time; New Norfolk, New Albion, New Navarre, New Madrid, New Leon, New Biscay, to name a few. Condition: The wooden horizon ring has a papered surface, has one restored, diagonal cut, and split. There is some notable surface loss to gores just to the west of Peru in South America, and in the South Pacific Ocean - near to the Analemma. There is black vertical scarring to parts of what would be California and British Columbia in Western Canada. The Celestial globe: The paper horizon ring shows the months of the year, and the days within each month, plus stars and constellations, along with the names of the zodiac. The globe has a brass hour circle fitted above the north pole. By turning this thin, small metal circle (divided evenly into 24 segments), you can calculate the time difference between various locations on the globe. The globe also features a fully metal graduated meridian ring - a ring that arches 360 degrees around the globe and passes over the two poles. The ring is quartered in four by 90-degree quadrants and constellations. This globe also sits on an identical three-legged mahogany tripod, with a turned base and has the delightful and elegant tapered feet. This globe also has an attractive pale patina b.…
