While it may not appear so at first, this large 16-inch desk globe is actually a very rare type of globe. The reason is because it combines a traditional antique ocean color scheme with the dual-illumination design. Most illuminated globes, and especially dual-illuminated globes, feature a classic blue ocean color scheme.
Aside from the unique combination of antique oceans and dual illumination, this globe, like many from Columbus Verlag, is made out of hand-blown crystal. This crystal allows the clearest and most brilliant light to shine through the globe, sharply highlighting the extensive cartographic detail.
So, what about that dual illumination? When the light is off, this globe displays a political view of the world. Turn the light on and a brilliant physical view appears with the natural coloring and shading of the earth's features.
Columbus Verlag is world renowned for their artistic and geographic achievements in globe making. This is simply one of the finest 16-inch desktop globes on the market anywhere in the world today.
