- Lot Description
Miniature globe, Nuremberg, Carl Bauer, ca 1825. 3-in. globe in a pasteboard box, hand-colored lithograph of Naval officer leaning on a standing globe on the top; the globe has "C.B." on the horizon just below where the officer is leaning on it. Box has a gilt "wallpaper" design on dark blue background. Globe has 12 hand-colored lithographed gores over mache (?) sphere; pins at the axis allow it to sit in the box loosely so it can be turned without removing it. Names are in English.
The small size necessitates some "geographical license;" for example, there are only two islands in the Caribbean, yet Europe knew of many more - this was where Columbus landed. Micronesia posed an even greater problem, since many of those tiny islands barely appear on much larger maps and globes. Bauer clearly selected the "important" (in the day) landmarks to emphasize.
Although miniature globes first appeared in the 18th century, they became extremely popular in the early 19th century, likely prompting the Bauer family to expand their variety and production of these. Johann Bernard Bauer (1752-1839) and sons, Carl Johann Sigmund Bauer (1780-1857) and Peter (1783-1847) were makers of scientific instruments as well as globes.
Some toning of the lithograph on top of the box, otherwise excellent.Condition
