OUThis archival footage captures the detailed process of globe manufacturing in 1955, where paper map segments called gores were carefully pasted onto spherical molds by hand. Each piece had to align perfectly to represent accurate geography.
The process required precision and craftsmanship, as workers smoothed and sealed the surface before final finishing. These traditional techniques ensured durability and accuracy long before automated production methods took over.

OUThis archival footage shows the process of manufacturing educational globes during the mid-1950s. Workers carefully applied printed map sections onto spherical molds, aligning each piece precisely so the continents and geographic lines matched correctly across the globe’s surface.
During this period, globes were often made by pasting specially printed paper segments called “gores” onto a hollow sphere. After the paper was applied and smoothed, the surface was sealed and mounted on a stand. These handcrafted techniques allowed schools and homes to use accurate physical models of the Earth long before digital maps became common.

HODuring the 1800s and early 1900s, world globes were carefully handcrafted pieces that combined geography with skilled craftsmanship. They usually started with a hollow sphere made from materials like papier-mâché or plaster, which was shaped and smoothed to form the base of the globe.
Mapmakers then printed the world map onto long curved paper sections known as gores. Each strip was designed to match a specific portion of the sphere and had to be placed precisely so continents and oceans aligned correctly. These pieces were glued on by hand, one by one, until the entire globe was covered.
Afterward, the surface was often sealed, hand-colored, and sometimes finished with varnish, giving the globe durability along with the classic antique appearance we recognize today.
Looking at these historical globes now reveals the level of detail and effort involved. Each one captures the geography, borders, and understanding of the world at the time it was created, making them more than simple learning tools—they are handcrafted records of history.

FA1800s-Early 1900s: Old school globes were handcrafted objects that blended geography, art, and precision. They typically began as a hollow sphere made from papier-mâché or plaster, carefully shaped and sanded smooth. This sphere served as the base for what would become a detailed, three-dimensional map of the world.
Mapmakers printed the Earth’s geography onto long, curved paper strips called gores, each designed to fit a specific section of the sphere. These gores were painstakingly glued on by hand, aligned edge to edge so continents and oceans met correctly. Once applied, the globe was often sealed, hand-colored, and sometimes varnished, giving it both durability and a soft, antique sheen.
Looking at these globes today reveals how much craftsmanship went into something we now take for granted.
Each one reflects the knowledge, politics, and borders of its time, frozen in paper and glue. They weren’t just educational tools - they were handmade snapshots of how the world was understood in that moment of history.

METhis studio doesn’t even look real...
Bellerby & Co Globemakers create bespoke globes by hand preserving tradition and ancient craft in London.
And from the stand to the highly detailed globe, every step requires so much thought it’s hard to comprehend.

HOIn the 1800s and early 1900s, world globes were handcrafted works of precision that blended geography, printing, and careful craftsmanship.
Makers began with a hollow sphere, usually formed from papier-mâché or plaster, which was sanded smooth to create the base of the globe. The map itself wasn’t printed directly onto the sphere. Instead, cartographers printed the Earth’s geography onto long curved paper sections known as gores.
Each gore was designed to fit a specific slice of the sphere. Craftsmen glued them on one by one, carefully aligning the edges so the continents and oceans met correctly across the surface.
Once the paper map was applied, the globe was often hand-colored, sealed, and varnished, giving it durability and the soft antique finish many historic globes still have today.
What makes these globes fascinating is that they captured the world as it was understood at the time. Borders, place names, and even entire regions reflect the politics and geography of their era.
Every handmade globe was more than a teaching tool — it was a snapshot of history wrapped around a sphere.
