Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 37 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the pinnacle of cartographic and artistic achievement of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and accurate globes, which were highly sought after by European nobility and scholars. The Terrestrial Globe 37, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together provide a comprehensive view of the known world and the heavens as understood in the late 1600s.

The globe is notable for its large size, typically around 110 centimeters in diameter, making it one of the largest globes produced during that era. It is constructed from papier-mâché and coated with a layer of plaster, upon which the meticulously hand-drawn and colored maps are applied. The terrestrial globe features detailed depictions of continents, countries, and various geographical features, including mountain ranges, rivers, and cities. It also includes illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that were common in cartographic works of the period.

Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. He utilized the latest geographical knowledge available, incorporating information from explorers and navigators who had ventured to the farthest reaches of the known world. The Terrestrial Globe 37 reflects the state of geographical knowledge at the time, including the relatively accurate depiction of Europe, Asia, and Africa, while the Americas are shown with less precision, reflecting the ongoing exploration and mapping of the New World.

The globe is mounted on a wooden stand with a meridian ring and horizon ring, allowing it to be rotated and tilted to various angles for study. This design not only serves a practical purpose but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the piece. Today, Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 37 is considered a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the cartographic practices and geographical understanding of the late 17th century. It is preserved in various museums and collections around the world, where it continues to be admired for its craftsmanship and historical significance.
