The Earth and The Heavens A.D. 1551 These amazingly correct globes issued by Mercator in 1551 were available only to the privileged few. Mercator's projection, solving the problem of projecting a spherical world on a flat surface, was used for the next four hundred years.
Until 1900 all globes came in pairs, one celestial and one terrestrial. An important part of the culture, and even more for display and education.
