Classic Globe Chicago 1887

In 1887, Chicago was the fastest-growing city on earth, and Rand McNally was mapping the world from the heart of it. Their globes and atlases guided a generation of American travellers, traders, and dreamers at a moment when the map of the world was still being written.

Our Classic Globe Chicago 1887 honours that legacy. A faithful reproduction of the original edition, meticulously handcrafted with period-accurate gores and finished to capture the warm tones of the nineteenth-century original. The cartography reflects the world as it was known then: a record of an era, preserved in the round.

Placed on a desk, a shelf, or a library table, it complements both modern and traditional settings and invites the kind of conversation only a map of a vanished world can start. For those who understand that the finest designs tell stories worth keeping.
