Terrestrial and celestial pocket globe
Terrestrial pocket globe. Geographical details are the same as Adams GLB0200, but updated by the addition of 'Meridian of Greenwich' and a notice about Cook's death. The track of the voyage by Ross is also added. The region north of the arctic circle is completely changed by a newly engraved polar calotte. In the south polar region Enderby's Land 1833 is mapped. Compass points have been added west of the Cape of Good Hope and along the equator the hours are indicated. The location of the 'Antipodes to London' are marked. The monsoons in the Indian Sea are recorded. The 'Chinese Wall' is depicted. California is drawn as a peninsula. Australia and New Zealand are drawn according to the Dutch discoveries. The track of Anson is recorded and labelled. Five oceans are named.
