A copy of the celestial globe may be found in the Museo di Strumenti Antichi of Florence, which was presented to the museum by the Grand Duke Leopold I. This example is reported to be in good condition, being mounted on a base of wood, and having a horizon and a meridian circle of wood, both of which are graduated. On the horizon appear the names of the eight principal winds, with representations of the wind heads having distended cheeks. A fairly well-preserved example of the terrestrial globe (Fig. 69) was recently purchased by Mr. Reed of New York City, by whose courteous permission it was photographed for reproduction in this work. It has a single pedestal base which is gilded, is furnished with horizon and meridian circles, the former being supported by two semicircles, which in turn rest on the pedestal base. Practically all of the inscriptions are in capitals, and all of the work of the engraver has been very artistically done. The outline of the New World resembles closely that given by Mercator and by Zaltiari. In North America we find interestingly represented a great lake drained by two rivers, apparently, but not accurately drawn as the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence. The southwestern part is called “Nova Spagna,” Mexico is designated as “Nova Galitia”; in the northeast we find “La Nova Franza,” and “Terra de Norũbeca,” and in the southeast “Florida,” although the peninsula is not well drawn. South America bears the name “America,” so drawn as practically to cover the continent, and in addition we find “Castiglia de Loro,” “Para,” “Peru Provin,” “Chili,” and lake “Tichia,” located well inland. It will be noted in the reproduction that the sphere is well shot through by the industrious book- or woodworm. [Illustration: Fig. 69.
