A miniature terrestrial globe in original cylindrical case, with hand-coloring to the 12 lithographic gores on the globe and a scene of a woman and two children on lid of case. With metallic axis pins. Lid has printed title "Die Erde/The Earth." Published by Johann Georg Klinger (German, 1764-1806) in Nuremberg in the mid-19th century, with lithographs by C. Dunzinger. Numbered 1031 on label of C. Abel-Klinger, Nuremberg, affixed to base of case. Circumference: 7 1/4". Case height: 2 7/8". Case diameter: 2 13/16". Note: The globe includes Wilkes Land, Antarctica, dating its publication to after 1840-42. The J.G. Klinger name was in use until 1852, at which point the firm began operating as C. Abel-Klinger (Source: Elly Dekker, GLOBES AT GREENWICH).
PROVENANCE: Estate of Raymond Holton, Knoxville, Tennessee.
CONDITION: Globe is in very good condition, with negligible, scattered scrapes and losses. Minor wear to lid and to pebbled paper sides of case is commensurate with age and use.
