The set of gores GLB0221 and those pasted on the wooden sphere for this globe are facsimiles of a set now in the New York Public Library, which are pulls on paper dating from between 1556 and 1560. The date of the model used for these gores, however, is before 1533, because a globe made with similar gores is shown in Holbein's famous painting of that year, 'The Ambassadors', in the National Gallery, London. The gores have formerly been attributed to Johann Schoner as well as to George Hartmann, because Nuremberg is mentioned on the globe, but there is no evidence to substantiate these attributions. The wooden handles of the facsimile were added to copy the globe in the painting. However, the handle is not Holbein's paint but the result of an early restoration. Mounted copies of the facsimile gores are also at Yale and the Nordenskiold Collection, Oslo.
