About the Item

Earth globe made in the second half of the 19th century by Ernst Schotte of Berlin revised and corrected by M. Vivien de Saint-Martin for Hachette C.ie Paris. In addition to the spatial map, ocean currents are depicted. Turned and ebonized wood base, complete with engraved brass meridian circle, papier-mâché sphere. Good condition, cleaning and conservation restoration, signs of use, very good readability. Measures 28x59 - 11x23.3 cm. Schotte Ernst co. was a leading globe and planetarium manufacturer, founded in Berlin in 1855. Beginning in 1870 Schotte E. co. produced many globes in more than 25 languages, but also many celestial, lunar and planetary globes, which were exported throughout Europe, with a very artistic design and richly decorative appearance. The company continued production until the early 20th century. Louis Vivien de Saint-Martin (1802 - 1896) was a French cartographer, geographer and historian. Louis Vivien became known for the publication of Carte électorale et administrative (1823) and Atlas universel très complet (1825). He wrote L'Année géographique, between 1863 and 1875 and also devoted himself to three monumental works, Histoire des découvertes géographiques, Nouveau dictionnaire de géographie universelle and Atlas universel de géographie. He was also one of the founders of the Société de Géographie. Man has always wanted to know the world in which he lives and has used all available means to measure the space around him to expand his knowledge more and more. The conditions that enabled humans to develop models of the world and space probably came about only after thinking had reached a stage of development where it understood that natural processes could be represented through a model. As early as ancient Greece, naturalists had come to understand the sphericity of the Earth and its position suspended in space. The earliest known globe is the one attributed by Strabo, historian and geographer, to the Greek Cratetes of Mallo (c.a. 150 B.C.). The first globes in the early 16th century were built under the impetus of the great geographical explorations and immediately began to be used for educational purposes at princely courts, monasteries, and colleges; the globe later began to conquer university circles and high and lower schools. It will be with the nineteenth century of great commerce, circulation and the introduction of compulsory schooling that the desire to learn about distant countries will increase, making the old method of globe construction inadequate. Spindles printed from engraved plates no longer suffice, and the only real resource becomes lithography through which it is possible to print and update maps in a timely manner, which as more and more geographical discoveries are made in different countries become obsolete faster and faster.
