Philips’ 6 inch terrestrial globe

London : George Philip & Son, circa 1930.

Terrestrial globe 6 inches in diameter, printed gores over plaster base, graduated equator band, supported on a contemporary half-meridian stand on turned wooden base, some old surface rubbing, with a recently applied varnish, a very good example.

An interesting interwar terrestrial globe, showing the renamed cities of Leningrad and Istanbul, Ukraine as a separate region, delineating French West Africa and French Indochina, as well as outlining the puppet state of Manchuria, and the Italian Somali Coast.
