Shackleton Globe, 25cm

In the 16th-18th centuries, ocean pioneers were the celebrities of the age. Figures such as Drake, Magellan, and Cook discovered new lands, facilitated trade, and spread power and influence around the globe. Even today, their reputation and achievements are so embedded in our history, that they remain household names. So when we sat down to name our new ranges of globes, explorers were the obvious choice. The Shackelton globe offers political-style mapping in muted colours to give a retro 1960s effect.
