Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 28 is a remarkable example of the cartographic artistry and scientific knowledge of the late 17th century. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and accurate globes, which were highly sought after by scholars and collectors of his time. The Terrestrial Globe 28, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together represent the known world and the heavens as understood in the late 1600s.

The globe is notable for its large size, typically around 110 centimeters (approximately 43 inches) in diameter, making it one of the largest globes produced during that era. It is constructed from papier-mâché and plaster, overlaid with meticulously engraved and hand-colored copperplate gores. These gores, or map segments, are carefully applied to the sphere, creating a seamless representation of the Earth's surface.

Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 28 is celebrated for its detailed depiction of geographical features, including continents, countries, cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. It also includes illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that were common in maps of the period. The globe reflects the state of geographical knowledge at the time, incorporating recent discoveries from explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, and James Cook.

In addition to its geographical accuracy, the globe is a testament to Coronelli's craftsmanship and artistic skill. The intricate illustrations and precise engravings demonstrate his dedication to both scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty. The Terrestrial Globe 28 remains a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the cartographic practices and geographical understanding of the late 17th century. Today, surviving examples of Coronelli's globes are held in high esteem by museums, libraries, and private collectors around the world, serving as enduring symbols of the Age of Exploration and the advancement of human knowledge.
