Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 51 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, reflecting the zenith of cartographic knowledge and craftsmanship of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan monk, cartographer, and cosmographer, is renowned for his meticulous and artistic approach to globe-making. Born in 1650 in Venice, Coronelli's work gained widespread acclaim, and his globes were sought after by European nobility and intellectuals.

The Terrestrial Globe 51, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together represent the most comprehensive understanding of the world and the heavens as known in the late 1600s. These globes were not merely navigational tools but also works of art, showcasing Coronelli's skill in combining scientific precision with artistic elegance.

Measuring approximately 110 centimeters in diameter, the Terrestrial Globe 51 is constructed from a wooden sphere covered with a layer of papier-mâché. This is then overlaid with meticulously engraved and hand-colored copperplate gores. The globe features detailed geographical information, including the latest discoveries of the time, such as the coastlines of the Americas, Africa, and Asia, as well as speculative cartography reflecting the limited exploration of certain regions.

Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their elaborate decorative elements, including cartouches, sea monsters, ships, and other illustrations that provide a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the Baroque period. The Terrestrial Globe 51 also includes inscriptions in Latin, offering insights into the geographical knowledge and cultural context of the era.

Today, Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 51 is considered a masterpiece of early modern cartography and is preserved in various museum collections around the world. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, whose work continues to be celebrated for its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
