        JOHANN GEORG KLINGER (1764-1806)

        Est: £5,000 - £8,000

        Globus Terrestris suma cura et ita elaboratus ut non modo claristi Cookii fed et quae. Nuremberg: 1790. A terrestrial table globe, diameter 5 1/2 in. (14cm.), made up of 12 engraved gores, and two polar calottes, the equator, Australia, New Zealand, Tierra del Fuego and New Guinea outlined in red, the globe specifically marking the tracks of the three voyages of Cook from Britain down the Atlantic and around the Pacific, brass meridian circle, lacking hour ring, engraved papered horizon ring with ebonised and oak stand, four turned supports, base plate and bun feet. (Some light browning to globe gores.) -- overall height, 8 1/4 in. (21cm.) An interesting small table globe, clearly incorporating as a matter of the greatest geographical interest, the latest discoveries in the Pacific by Captain James Cook. Johann Georg Klinger was one of the last great globe makers of Nuremberg; an art dealer and engraver, he began issuing globes in 1790. For his terrestrial globes he used the gores of an earlier Nuremberg maker, Johann Philipp Andreae (1700-1757), and had them updated by the geographer Johann Wolfgang Miller (1765-1828) who sought out the latest maps. The official account of Cook's Third Voyage with its atlas of maps was published in 1784, and was immediately used to update the latest globes. Curiously this globe depicts an island South of Tasmania, 'Becla Island'.
