This Scandinavian terrestrial globe has a brass calibrated half
meridian and it is raised on a turned spindle on a wooden base with
an ebony finish. This is a very impressive and unusual globe and it
rare to find a globe at such a size. It was published by the Wahlstrom
& Widstand company and the cartography was provided by D. Reimers
from Berlin. The sea currents are depicted and on land, many rivers
and highland areas are identified.
