An illustrated manual for the use of the terrestrial and celestial globes

Schedler, J · 1878 · New York : E. Steiger · 11 pictures

This is a late nineteenth-century manual by J. Schedler, published in New York by E. Steiger in 1878, explaining how to use terrestrial and celestial globes for general readers and students. The engravings show globes on ornate stands, with plain stands and spheres drawn in fine hatching and cast-iron style pedestals, and they suit a designer seeking Victorian scientific and decorative motifs.
