Antique lithographed metal globe mounted on a black base with a gilt metal meridian marker. The map shows the Commonwealth of Australia and the Dominion of Canada , suggesting a date around the 1950s or 1960s. Made in England (marked "Made in England", no. 10174), this model combines geographical accuracy with the fine printing typical of British educational globes from the interwar period. The lithographed paper has a lovely patina, slightly ambered with age.
