The tranquil color scheme – Ocean Green – is the initial aspect that captures attention and provides a peaceful, serene atmosphere. Beyond its visual charm, this globe is notable for its historical importance. Our rendition of the vintage globe highlights the three expeditions of Captain James Cook in a design crafted by Giovanni Maria Cassini in 1790. A crimson line of the ecliptic is also included, marking the sun’s position for each day of the year.
