AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful antique globe in the Dutch language, designed by Ludwig Julius Heymann and published by Wagner & Debes in Leipzig at the end of the 1910s and the early 1920s. Ludwig Julius Heymann's globes are highly sought after for their beautifully detailed and aesthetic map sheet, and the well-crafted stand. Fine specimens are increasingly difficult to find, and those that are found are usually in the usual German language. This Dutch-language exemplar is exceptionally rare. After the death of Ludwig Julius Heymann, the publisher moved from Berlin to Leipzig at the beginning of the 1900s and was shortly afterwards taken over by the then-managers Wagner and Debes. They ran the publisher for only a few years and had already in the 1920s sold it to Paul Oestergaard of the Columbus publishing house. An excellent opportunity to acquire a rare Heymann globe in good condition. Also take a close look at the photos, they form an important part of the description.
