Globe inspiration

Globe is partly inspired by the Hunt-Lenox Globe, which was built in the early 1500s, making it one of the first European globes ever made.

It’s a small, hollow, copper globe composed of two copper-engraved hemispheric sections closely fitted along the equator. The Hunt-Lennox Globe has one lone sentence etched above the coast of Southeast Asia, ‘Hic Sunt Dracones’ – ‘Here be dragons’.
