Around The World in 200 Globes
Around the World in 200 Globes presents for the first time the remarkable globe collection of Dutch architect Willem Jan Neutelings, co-founder of Neutelings Riedijk Architects and designer of well-known buildings such as the MAS Museum in Antwerp and the Gare Maritime in Brussels. Over several decades, Neutelings assembled a wide-ranging collection of globes made between 1900 and 2000.
This carefully curated selection features 200 globes, each offering insights into the period and place in which it was made. Some reflect advances in technology, others reveal contemporary understandings of geography and space, and many were crafted as navigational tools. The collection includes globes made from materials like cast iron, steel, wood, and paper—ranging from fragile, timeworn examples to vibrant, illuminated designs and each tells a story about historical worldviews, craftsmanship, and innovation
Through detailed photographs and commentary, the book explores the craftsmanship behind these objects and the changing ways people have viewed the world. A rare look into a private collection of 20th-century globes, this book is a tribute to the anonymous artisans of the last century and a celebration of the passion and dedication of collectors.
A beautifully produced volume for enthusiasts of design, history, and cartography.
