ROYAL Mini Desk Globe 12CM (Antique)

 

The most dangerous of all world views is the world view of people who have not looked at the world, Alexander von Humboldt once said. With the COLUMBUS MINI Globes, the world effortlessly fits in your hand, yet their maps convey a maximum of cartographical information. A complex 120 halftone printing process ensures that even the smallest writings are crystal clear and sharply depicted. Hand-coated map segments guarantee the highest precision in the entire product. The result: A world view to go.

 

The invention of lithography in the 19th century revolutionized the production of maps. The schematical woodcut and copperplate engraving gave way to the colored appearance of drawn maps - but in wide circulation. Our ROYAL unites the nostalgic feeling of old map styles and current data. The warm impression of its map meets today's political worldview. In 2015 it was honored as manufacture product of the year with the German manufacture seal, and in 2018 the travel fair ITB awarded it with the book award for outstanding publicist performances. The ROYAL: Scientific know-how of the 21st century in the look of the 19th century.

 

The steadfast detail: A globe needs a firm hold to unfold its full appeal. The MINI globe rests securely on a matted stainless steel base and rotates in a stainless steel meridian.
