Production“It is obvious…that few of the ‘makers’ to whom we attribute globes actually worked with their hands. They were, for the
most part, coordinators of teams which included geographers and/or astronomers who supplied the information, cartographers
who drew maps on the separate gores, engravers, printers, people who made the globe balls, women with nimble fingers who pasted the gores onto the balls, people who colored the
maps, inventors who devised the stands, and metalworkers and woodworkers who made them.” (Warner, 1987, p. 20)
