Terrestrial table globe attributed to C. Abel-Klinger (Nuremberg), second half of the 19th century. “DIE ERDE - Nach den neuesten Erforschungen und besten Quellen bearbeitet” The globe is attributed to C. Abel-Klinger based on stylistic and construction features (printing style, toponymic layout, brass meridian, and quality of the base). The main cartouche does not carry the full publisher’s name; the absence of the signature is consistent with known Klinger practice (alternative plates / neutral cartouches used for certain issues or distributors) and does not invalidate the attribution. Good/very good for its age. Gores intact; minor lifting along some seams (polar/side areas) without material loss. Original varnish with period patina. Wooden base and inset compass well preserved; brass meridian complete. Klinger's globes are highly prized by collectors and feature very detailed and high quality cartography. height: 21 cm diameter: 42 cm German language --------------------------------------- The photo shoot was performed with natural light, please note that the display of colors varies from one device to another therefore we do not assume responsibility for chromatic variations.
