EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pair of table globes, masterfully crafted by the renowned Isaac Habrecht in Strasburg during the year 1625. These remarkable pieces are considered to be one of his finest works and have become highly sought after by collectors worldwide. The globes, measuring at an impressive diameter of 20.4 cm, are adorned with a set of twelve exquisitely hand-colored copper engraved paper gores. Each detail has been meticulously executed, showcasing Habrecht's exceptional skill and attention to accuracy. Notably, the celestial globe features stars that indicate the specific year it was created - 1625. This adds a touch of historical significance to these already extraordinary artifacts. Over time, this particular pair of table globes underwent a second issue by Johann Christoph Weigel in Nuremburg during 1675. This further enhances their value and uniqueness as they represent both the craftsmanship of two esteemed German artisans from different eras. Now residing in a private collection, these magnificent globes continue to captivate viewers with their beauty and historical importance. The accompanying quadruped oak stand provides an elegant display for these treasures from centuries past. This photograph captures not only the physical attributes but also evokes curiosity about our world's exploration during the seventeenth century when cartography was still being discovered and refined.
