Dutch terrestrial globe, a so-called Columbus-globe from the Berlin company Columbus. Its mission statement "A Columbus globe for every home" led to the company exporting worldwide within a few years after its founding in 1909. Columbus globes were produced in 24 different languages, hence this nice Dutch copy.
