Columbus ROYAL Mini Globe 12 cm French

The invention of lithography in the 19th century revolutionized map-making. The schematic style of woodcuts and engravings gave way to the colored appearance of drawn maps – still produced in high volumes. Our ROYAL combines the nostalgic feel of old map styles with current data. Its warm map image aligns with today's political worldview. In 2015, it received the German Manufactory Seal as the Product of the Year, and in 2018, the ITB travel fair awarded it the Book Award for outstanding journalistic achievements. The ROYAL: scientific know-how of the 21st century wrapped in the style of the 19th century. The steadfast detail: A globe needs a solid base to fully showcase its impact. With the Regent base version, the table model rests on a flat-edged brass metal base covered in leather and rotates within a solid brass metal meridian.
