The art of making globes

In the era of Google Maps, who makes a living out of creating globes - by hand? Peter Bellerby, of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, for one. Headquartered in London, he talks with Martha Teichner about how a desire to purchase a globe led to him becoming one of the masters of the craft.

He probably saw the Pathe' clip on globe making in 1950 London here on KZbin

If I had the money, I'd have a Churchill in my Mansions foyer.

[@joe6096]

These globes are beautiful! They are works of art in and of themselves, let alone the geographic detail. The Churchill - my word!! Fantastic stuff!

My 40 some years in manufacturing tells me instead of cutting the paper freehand one would use a template to guide the knife or construct a cutting jig as they do in carton manufacturing. Its still being made by hand.

[@camilleaigail902]

I love globes!! This story just made me so happy to watch, that I watched it twice! :-) I would love to own one of these one day.

[@MicaFarrierRheayan]

It used to be so artistic. Hope this artistry gonna be preserved

Umm ... A current model globe ... Pretty important . I just lucked out and bought a globe for $35 at an antique shop , which I'll compare to a new model world globe ( current ) for home schooling lessons ... The globe I just bought showes Vietnam as one country and sat next to a globe which showed north and south Vietnam , sat next to one which Vietnam was not listed but showed ownership of the territory by the French . the former U.S.S.R. Is boldly printed ( pre collapse of the Soviet union ) the Panama canal is listed as a U.S. territory , sat next to a globe where Panama canal isen't marked . Hawaii is marked as a state, showed Honolulu as state capitol . Alaska is a state shows Jeneu as state capitol ... The antique dealer kept looking over like ... What's taking that guy so long ? I was looking for U.K. vs. Japan Occupied Hong Kong . I'm thinking of making our homeschooling final exam the construction of a globe . Geographically , politically , mathmaticly (longitude , latitude) accurate . With a chart corresponding in more than one language ... That ought to get more than one college recruiter interested .

Interesting. I have a London glove from 1950 and a globe I found that was used in a school in the 80’s at a local goodwill.

[@hamnchee]

The first one he used an r at the end because the following word started with a vowel. It keeps the two vowels separate, rather than an awkward (for some accents) vowel to vowel change. It's an English thing. In America you'll hear it in the New England and New York regional accents too.

[@rrondon3280]

Not all English people do this but it is becoming more common there. As for Americans in the Northeastern U.S., they add R's to the ends of words that finish in vowels regardless if the succeeding word starts with a vowel or not.

How about a globe, with no borders and no names for anything ... Just like the Earth. Possibly even rendered from satellite-images, as natural as possible, with man-made structures and everything, as-is.
