KLINGER, C. ABEL, THE EARTH published by C. Abel Klinger in NUREMBERG, 1852. 3†diameter pocket globe in good condition. Original paper case without lid. Pocket globes originated in England and were the most popular in that country. Their use is still somewhat a mystery, but these charming objects were probably expensive novelties or gentleman’s toys, useful for instruction and good conversation pieces. This mid-nineteenth century pocket globe was published in Nuremberg, but has names and title in English. References: Dekker & Van der Krogt, p.106; Dekker, Globes at Greenwich, pp. 365-368.
