19th Century German Miniature Pocket Terrestrial Globe

About the Item

A miniature 19th century 3.5 inch diameter pocket terrestrial globe by C. Abel-Klinger, Nuremberg, Germany, in English for the English speaking markets. Signed with cartouche reading "The Earth published by C. Abel-Klinger in Nuremberg." Two printed paper gores, continents outlined in color, equator and Grand Meridian delineated in checkered black and red, signed in the southern Indian Ocean. History of the maker: Klinger was an art dealer and engraver in Nuremberg, who published globes of various sizes. After his death, the firm was continued by his widow under the name 'J. Klinger's Kunsthandlung.' This name remained in use when Johann Paul Dreykorn (1805-75) bought the firm in 1831. When the merchant Carl Abel joined it in 1852, the name was changed to 'C. Abel Klinger'" (Dekker Globes at Greenwich p 384).
