Watercolor and graphite on vellum

A fine pair of attractive library globes on elegant “Georgian” stands

especially the many mountains of the northeast

A fine surviving example of one of the earliest Italian table globes—Rossi’s 8-inch globes being one of the first manufactured globes to be sold in Italy—this terrestrial example was likely assembled in the 18th century from early thick paper gores

James Robertson (1753-1829)
