Peter Bellerby is the founder of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, the world's only truly bespoke makers of globes. His team of skilled craftspeople make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes for customers around the world. The story began after his attempt to find a special globe for his father's 80th birthday.
Failing to find anything suitable, he decided to make one
himself which took him on an extraordinary journey of rediscovering
this forgotten craft.
The chapters of The
Globemakers take us through the journey of how to build a globe,
or 'earth apples' as they were first known, and includes fascinating
vignettes on history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as
the day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself.
br>This beautiful book uses illustration, photography and narrative to
tell the story of our globe and many different globes it has inspired.
