The Old World at your fingertips… Emblematic of 17th C. science. Uniting
precious bronze with hardwood and hand applied paper gores on a
papier-mâché core. Legendary cartographer, Jodocus Hondius, worked in
Amsterdam during the 1600s, then one of the world’s commercial hubs.
Galleons sailing oceans to the farthest corners of the then known world.
Exotic cultures, languages, people and goods to be traded, bought and
sold. Gold and ivory, spices and silks. Spin the world and enjoy a touch
of true history. No other company in the world offers authentic reproductions of similar quality and affordability. Attention to detail is key. Am replicates the complicated "gravure" printing process, resulting in the sharpest lines, words, and symbols even on the smallest size globe. All AM globes are made using original charts, researched by AM for their historical accuracy and visual appeal. Centuries ago globes were made by gluing copperplate printed gores on a plaster finished papier-mache core. Given the limited technology available at the time, a complicated production process, and a multitude of specialists involved, it was logical that only the very rich could afford to own globes. AM's globes offer history at your fingertips and highlight some of the world's most famous cartographers: Mercator, Hondius, Kaerius, and Vaugondy. Measures 14.25" x 21.65". (#GL046)

CASEL'S MARKETPLACE
The Best of EverythingAbout us:
Since first
opening our doors as a small grocery store in Atlantic
City in 1929, Casel's has been a family-owned market
focused on
bringing the finest quality food and merchandise to
friends and neighbors.
Today, that tradition continues in our gourmet
marketplace located in nearby Margate, New Jersey, just a block from the
Atlantic Ocean under the ownership of the Seiden family, who purchased
the market from
original owners, Abe and Herman Casel, in 1982. Our
award winning store offers the largest selection of gourmet and natural
food and merchandise available. While other businesses
have come and gone, Casel's continues to turn new
visitors into
life-long customers by combining the memories, tastes
and smells
of eras past with today's most exciting products from
the region
and around the world. We guarantee the quality and
freshness of everything we sell, or your money will be refunded!

in our Margate, NJ marketplace. Most of the items we sell on ebay are
shipped directly from our place of business. We do occasionally ship
from other sources to your home when we are temporarily out of stock or
when doing so allows us to offer you a savings on price or shipping
costs. Also, some larger items are shipped directly from the
manufacturer and this will be noted on the individual listing.

We ship orders within
2 business days of receipt of payment and use UPS ground service as

using Priority Mail small flat rate boxes and padded envelopes, which
help to control shipping costs. Larger items and those noted as coming
directly from the manufacturer may require additional handling and
shipping time. We only ship within the United States.
