"Weber Costello" tabletop globe with a round aluminium
base. Several centuries ago, globes were not cheap. That is why antique globes were usually mounted on elaborate, decorative stands. Courts, scientists and merchants could easily exchange an outdated model for the latest version, with its newly filled-in blank spaces, redrawn borders and corrected coastlines.
