A rare German 1.25 inch miniature terrestrial globe. Carl Bauer, Nuremburg, early 19th century. The sphere applied with twelve printed gores with continents and principal landmasses outlined, coloured and annotated in German, the South Pacific near Cape Horn with printed monogram MCB, in original carved wood case modelled as a walnut, 6.5cm (2.5ins) high. Carl Johann Sigmund Bauer was born in 1780 to globe maker and engraver Johann Bernard; he had a brother, Peter, who was three years younger. Both Peter and Carl followed in their father’s footsteps and perhaps became best known for producing the educational aid ‘The World and its Inhabitants’. This usually comprised a 1.75 inch globe and a hand coloured series of portraits depicting people of different ethnic backgrounds bound as a concertina foldout. Carl died in 1857, outliving his younger brother by ten years. The current lot is notable in that still retains its original case which is carved to resemble a walnut. The current lot appears a photographic reproduction of the famous portrait engraved by John Smith after the original by Sir Godfrey Kneller circa 1710.
