These two globes are an extremely rare pair of illuminated globes from the publisher Paul Räth, Leipzig – a political terrestrial globe and an even rarer celestial globe.
When illuminated, the paper used for the map image has the color reproduction and radiance of paper used in the 1930s and 40s, giving the globes a unique charm.
The wooden bases vary slightly in design. The glass spheres are mouth-blown, and the map image is hand-laminated. The meridians are made of aluminum.
