About this Item

ca. 42 cm Diameter, Height 60 cm . The globe can be tilted manually between 0-90 degrees. Condition: some smaller scratches and some loss of paper south of Japan. Overall good condition. Extremely rare globe! After World War II, before the monopolisation of the market by Panstwowe Przedsiebiorstwo Wydawnictw Kartograficznych (PPWK) Oddzial we Wroclawiu [National Cartographic Publishing House], a physical globe designed by Gustaw Wuttke and Andrzej Lorentsky (1946) appeared published by Pracownia Pomocy Naukowych "Globus" w Warszawie [Workshop of Teaching Aids "Globe" in Warsaw] and printed in Poznan. In 1951 E. Romer worked out his biggest globe (1:30 million). From 1959 up to the 1980s the globe maps were published by PPWK and printed mostly by Fabryka Pomocy Naukowych w Warszawie [Teaching Aids Factory in Warsaw]. In the 1980s some maps elaborated by PPWK were printed by other printing houses (Wloclawek, Marki). Eventually in 1988 the maps and the copyrights were repurchased by the ZACHEM company from Rebków producing the globes until today nowadays with maps elaborated by KARTO-GRAF from Lublin. In 1985 a globe published by Cartigraphia from Budapest found his way to Poland. Towards the end of the 20th c. two companies entered the Polish market: Scan-Globe from Denmark and Nova RICO from Italy. The latter one produces globes and telluriums, which are still being sold. In 2003 in Olsztyn Andrzej Kowalczyk worked out a globe of 1m in diameter, perfectly fit for didactic purposes. Sprache: Deutsch. Seller Inventory # 100341
