A 9” Hammond’s Terrestrial Globe, displaying the political borders of c 1930. Note the superb Art Deco- Nouveau design of the mounting, showing strong influence of the Jugendstil movement of Vienna! Colors of the map have a nicely aged patina. The warm earth tones provide a beautiful contrast to the teal finished cast iron mounting. It is interesting to note that while most Globe manufactures were located in Chicago, C.S. Hammonds & Co produced their Models in New York, Brooklyn and Boston (as stated on the Cartouche). The Globe itself is made of hollow spun metal, covered with 12 printed paper gores. The cartouche is printed on the gore, not applied afterwards as it was common during that period.

No cracks or breaks to the mounting The age has been identified by the display of Istanbul instead of Constantinople, Manchuria is not yet occupied by Japan.
