TABLE GLOBE – JOSLIN, Gilman (1804 - c.1886) Composed of two sets of twelve hand-colored engraved half gores and two polar calottes, the continents with nation states delicately shaded in blue, yellow or green and showing an enormous wealth of detail including rivers, mountains, deserts, towns, cities. Supported in graduated brass meridian ring sitting in mahogany stand with horizon ring titled IMPROVED GLOBE, BOSTON, MANUFACTURED BY GILMAN JOSLIN CORRECTED TO DATE. An attractive table globe. Prior to his working in the field of globe-manufacture, Gilman Joslin (1804-c.1886) is recorded variously as a bookseller, a wood-turner, and a maker of looking-glass mirrors. He began his globe-publishing career working with Josiah Loring (1775-c.1840) whose globes had initially been based on those by C. Smith and Son of London. From 1837 onwards, Joslin continued to publish these globes with corrections and additions, incidentally advertising them as superior to British globes of the day and in 1870 he published this updated version of the fine Copley terrestrial globe alongside his own output. His son William B. Joslin joined the company in 1874 and they continued to operate as Joslin and Son until 1907. 413mm diameter (uneven toning, surface abrasions and cracks throughout).
