The chapters of ‘The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft’ take us through the journey of how to build a globe, or ‘earth apples’ as they were first known, and includes fascinating vignettes on history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as the day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself.
It also features photography of our skilled craftspeople who make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes – as well as hand drawn and hand painted illustrations like those featured on our globes.
‘The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft’ is in stores and online.
