Globes

Perhaps I missed it, but we don't seem to have a thread about globes. There was a wonderful story about a globe maker on CBS Sunday morning today -- the maker of the magnificent Churchill globe. I'll be back with the link as soon as they post it.

I love globes. One of my pleasures is looking at globes from different times and guessing from their content the date of manufacture. Looking forward to the link!

Here it is The Art of Making Globes https://www.cbsnews.com/videos/the-art-of-making-globes/

Excellent!
I've printd out a copy for reference.

>5 lorax: Wow. No, I hadn’t seen that, but it’s a formalized (and more comprehensive) (and more funny) version of my ordinary thought process. It’s fun to do. I think I would turn to the chart only when stumped! Thanks, lorax!
