Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 38 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, reflecting the zenith of cartographic and globe-making craftsmanship of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is celebrated for his meticulous and innovative approach to globe-making. Born in 1650 in Venice, Coronelli became renowned for his detailed and accurate maps and globes, which were highly sought after by European nobility and scholars.

The Terrestrial Globe 38, created around 1693, 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 17th century. These globes are notable for their large size, often measuring over a meter in diameter, and for the exquisite detail and artistry involved in their creation. Coronelli's globes were constructed using a papier-mâché core, overlaid with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores, which were then varnished to protect the surface.

The terrestrial globe showcases the geographical knowledge of the time, including the latest discoveries and explorations. It features detailed depictions of continents, countries, and cities, as well as illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that were common in maps of the period. The globe also includes various annotations and descriptions, providing insights into the contemporary understanding of geography, navigation, and the natural world.

Coronelli's work is distinguished by its accuracy and the inclusion of recent discoveries, such as the detailed mapping of the Americas and the depiction of the Great Lakes. His globes were not only scientific instruments but also works of art, reflecting the Baroque aesthetic of the period. They were prized by collectors and institutions and remain valuable historical artifacts today, offering a window into the world as it was known over three centuries ago.

The Terrestrial Globe 38 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli stands as a testament to the skill and knowledge of one of history's greatest globe-makers, embodying the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the Age of Enlightenment.
