Globemaster Globe

This globe is simple in its structural elements but detailed in its cartographic ones. It is tilted on its original axis and held in a full swing arm for maneuverability that allows one to easily view the details across each part of the globe. The color scheme and printed embellishments give it antique, distinguished look. Mountain ranges are in raised relief to provide an idea of the topography of each region. Landmasses are covered in a dense overlay of city and country names with occasional symbols corresponding to a legend located off the western coast of South America.
