We loved the challenge of creating the one of a kind globe for a customer wanting to highlight the Silk Route. Far from a traditional terrestrial globe showing the whole world – this project took over a year to complete. The whole map was designed according to the customers wishes, from bespoke cartography – to the travel route – to the many detailed illustrations.
The illustrations tell the story of the cultures, items traded, architecture, the spread of religions, and a few fun additions like sea monsters.
The back of the globe features a map of China with overlapping details on the eras at the time of the Silk Route.
