Note: Drawn and engraved by W.B. Annin. Very detailed physical features. Annin's name on a globe of this late date is puzzling, since he was active in the period 1815-40, as a maker of globes and (with Smith) as engraver for Cumming's School Geography and Daniel Adam's School Geography (see Ristow p.294, Tooley Dictionary). With a lovely floral iron stand. Total height of the globe and stand is 9.5 inches.
