Description

Rare manuscript relief globe for the blind. Berlin, around 1920, inscribed "Relief-Erdglobus für Blinde, D. Reimer Berlin" under the wooden base with a handwritten paper label, the globe made as a heavy plaster globe, the relief raised, the map image executed by hand in oil colors, the cities, rivers and the equator modeled in relief, the names of larger cities and rivers provided with printed paper labels, turned wooden base in walnut. Diameter: approx. 34 cm. Height: approx. 52 cm. This globe, designed for teaching the blind, is probably a prototype that was intended to serve as a model or design for a possible series production by Dietrich Reimer Verlag.

The model offered here, which is probably unique, cannot be found in the relevant specialist literature or in public collections. A rare manuscript relief globe for the blind.
