Maps.c.2.82.1

Mogg’s dissected globes were intended ‘For the instruction of Youth’, with children learning about astronomy or geography through constructing and playing with the models. The terrestrial dissected globe was originally published in 1812, with a celestial sphere published the following year. The globe is made of cardboard and was issued in a slipcase with printed instructions for its assembly, sadly lacking in the Library's copy.

Presented by R. S. Hart, 1945.
