Scale 1:40,000,000.
Beautiful inclined globe on which, in addition to the usual cartographic details, "the French, English, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Danish, Italian, Belgian and United States possessions and protectorates" are represented by different colors; This globe shows the main telegraph lines and cables, both completed and planned, railway lines, main and secondary shipping routes, state and provincial boundaries, rivers, streams, deserts and sands, frozen lands, marshes, water depths, etc. This globe is also "historical" because the date of discovery is inscribed beneath some islands or territories.
Dating: Saint Petersburg appears as Leningrad (from 1924 to 1991), however, Russia is not yet called the USSR (1923), and Lebanon does not appear (1926). However, in Turkey, the name Istanbul for Constantinople already appears on this globe (from 1930).
Very good condition, two small tears with paper loss near the North Pole and in Siberia.
