The Globemakers

The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft

Peter Bellerby

Description

The author is the founder of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, the world's only truly bespoke maker of globes. His team of skilled craftspeople make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes for customers around the world.

The chapters of The Globemakers take us through the journey of how to build a globe, or 'earth apples' as they were first known, and include fascinating vignettes on history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as the day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself.

This beautiful book uses illustration, photography and narrative to tell the story of our globe and many different globes it has inspired.
