Johann Daniel Doppelmayr, öffentlicher Pro-
fessor der Mathematik, herausgegeben von
Johann Georg Puschner, Nürnberg, 1736.
A pair of miniature globes, Johann Gabriel
Doppelmayr, Nuremberg, dated 1736
The wooden globes covered with hand-co-
loured copper engravings, on the original
stands. The meridian rings and mounted hour
rings made of brass, with intricately engraved
scaling and stamped numbers. The horizon
rings made of papier mâché. The terrestrial
globe rubbed in the northern hemisphere, with
minor abrasions in places. The baroque signa-
ture cartouche not cleaned and barely legible.
The celestial globe in better condition, the car-
touche clearly legible. One ball foot lost from
the terrestrial globe, one of the celestial globe’s
feet damaged. Diameter of the globes circa 10
cm each, overall height 15.5 cm each.
A superb pair of globes in attractive, un-
cleaned condition. Unlike the larger versions,
measuring 20 cm and 32 cm in diameter, Dop-
pelmayr only produced a limited number of 10
cm globes.
Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr, Professor of
Mathematics, published by Johann Georg
Puschner, Nuremberg, 1736.
