Produced by the renowned Ludwig Julius Heymann, a prominent Berlin-based publisher known for his fine globes, this large globe dates back to the period between 1891 and 1897. It is identical to a piece held in the prestigious globe collection of the Berlin State Library, underlining its historical significance and rarity.

The globe itself is made from papier-mâché and paper, with the surface featuring detailed and finely printed maps that are characteristic of Heymann's work. Despite some wear and minor damage to the map, typical for an item of this age, the globe remains a stunning example of 19th-century cartography and design.

One of the most striking features of this globe is its elaborately turned wooden stand, which adds a touch of elegance and grandeur. The base is not only decorative but also functional, incorporating a built-in compass, which would have been an essential tool for navigation enthusiasts of the time.
