Description
The soothing seafoam green color palette is the first thing people notice, and it offers a calming and serene tone. Aside from its aesthetic appeal, this terrestrial globe is also highlighted by its historical relevance. Our interpretation of the antique globe depicts the three voyages taken by Captain James Cook in a design created by Giovanni Maria Cassini in 1790. A red ecliptic line is also present, showing the sun’s position each day of the year.
ANTIQUE TERRESTRIAL GREEN GLOBE
- Terrestrial globe made with antique map from 1790
- Features latitude and longitude lines
- Note there is no Antarctica because James Cook didn’t believe it existed
- Turns using ambient light
- Hidden magnets provide movement
- No cords or batteries
Each globe combines vibrant artwork with our patented technology, creating a flawless rotation without batteries or messy cords. Hidden solar cells use ambient natural or artificial light for power, while the earth’s magnetic field provides the necessary torque. These elements work seamlessly to power a ‘whisper-quiet’ mechanism, allowing the globe to rotate within its clear outer shell. Each piece is assembled with such precision, it appears the inner and outer layers are one – rotating without any outside power source.
