Connoisseur and Collector: A Chicago Residence

Good, attractive condition overall. One globe with a tear in its paper compass and one caster detached but present. Both with very small areas of possible old repair/overpainting in several places. One with water spots on the underside of its globe. The other with old latitudinal scratches near its top and a small white paint drip on northeast present-day Canada. This globe also with several repaired or stabilized age cracks to its horizon ring. Both with discolorations and water marks throughout the paper on the horizon rings. Mahogany with scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age throughout. Both mounted with brass plaques reading "Purchased London 1839 Theodore Dehon."
