Description:
|
|
Attractive early 1930s terrestrial globe highlighting the dominions of the British Empire. Using dotted and dashed lines, principal shipping and air routes and marked across the map.
The appearance of "(Manchukuo)" suggests that the globe is dated to circa 1932, just as the Japanese invaded Manchuria (1932-1945).
The orb is presented on a handsome black wooden pedestal with a polished brass full meridian and horizon band. Printed globe gores. [GLOBE421] |
