This globe was designed to demonstrate changing ideas of the world. It compares the map of the world at the end of the 18th century, on the globe itself, with a map of “The WORLD as known in CÆSAR’S time” on one side of the box. The other side lists the latitude and longitude coordinates of several cities around the world. Objects of this type illustrate the period’s taste for geography and cartography.
