AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful globe from the 1930s, published by Geographia in London.
The diameter of the globe is 25 cm.
The maps for Geographia's globes bore a striking resemblance to those of the George Philip & Son publishing house, which was a few doors away. Geographia was located at 55 Fleet Street, London, and George Philip & Son at 32 Fleet Street, London.
The globe is in reasonable condition. Here and there, small pieces of the map sheet have disappeared, and the colors are somewhat faded, which gives it an extra antique character.
Take a good look at the photos; they form an integral part together with the description.
