Globe - Räth Political Globe - 1975

Decorative globe by Räth with Dutch-language cartography, mounted in a silver-colored metal meridian arc on a round wooden base. The map shows countries, cities, borders and oceans in various colors.

Issued by VEB Räthgloben-Verlag in Leipzig, with cartography and printing by VEB Hermann Haack, Gotha/Leipzig. Marked “Made in GDR,” indicating origin from the former East Germany. The map notes editorial closing February 1975; dating around 1975 is therefore plausible.

The globe has a diameter of 33 cm and a scale of 1:38,600,000. A stylish object for a study, library or classic interior.
