Until the introduction of plastic globes, hand lamination of globes was their own manufacturing process.
In this traditional, personal, handcrafted technique of globe manufacture, globe segments are laminated by hand onto a sphere or a holder (belongs with the map) and sealed with varnish.
In order to avoid overlapping errors, the non-distortion-free segments are made as narrow as possible, the spherical two-corners (the globe stripes; English gores) usually cover lengths of 30 °. The globe is covered with 12 two-cornered corners cut with punching dies. It should be noted that the intersections of the overlapping globe segments do not lie on the drawn-in meridian lines, but close to them. In the case of very large globes, these two-corners are amated again. At the poles, a couple of circular pieces of map are often stuck on (polar cap) to avoid any unclean overlaps at the point where the 12 segments converge.
The maps of the globe segments are sold in the cross-axis equidistant azimuthal projection.
By hand, he helps set up map segments and put them together to form a globe.

We picked up on this old technique and heard it around a small 16cm globe. However, we have to stick the card elements on because we engrave them with our laser during production.
But of course you can also design the globe in selected colors like our example and so the geographic properties of the globe.
And it does itself whether natural or lacquered - on every access or in every bookshelf.
