The Terrestrial Globe 42 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the advanced cartographic knowledge and artistic craftsmanship of its time. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, renowned for his detailed and aesthetically striking globes. His works were highly sought after by European nobility and intellectuals, reflecting the era's burgeoning interest in geography and exploration.

The Terrestrial Globe 42, 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 17th century. Measuring approximately 42 inches in diameter, this globe is notable for its large size and the intricate detail of its cartographic depictions. Coronelli's globes were among the largest and most detailed of their kind during that period, often commissioned by royalty and wealthy patrons.

The globe is constructed from a wooden sphere covered with a layer of papier-mâché and plaster, upon which meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores are applied. These gores, or map segments, are carefully aligned to create a seamless representation of the Earth's surface. The Terrestrial Globe 42 features detailed illustrations of continents, countries, and cities, as well as depictions of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that were common in maps of that era.

Coronelli's work is distinguished by its accuracy and the inclusion of recent geographical discoveries, reflecting the latest knowledge brought back by explorers. The globe also includes extensive annotations and descriptions, providing insights into the geographical and cultural understanding of the time. The Terrestrial Globe 42 is not only a scientific instrument but also a work of art, showcasing the blend of scientific inquiry and artistic expression characteristic of the Baroque period.

Today, Coronelli's globes are highly valued by collectors and historians alike, offering a window into the world as it was known over three centuries ago. The Terrestrial Globe 42 remains a testament to Coronelli's skill and the rich tradition of globe-making in the history of cartography.
