London-based artist and globemaker Julia Forte was featured in one of Mapping London’s earliest posts – way back in 2011 we featured the Map of London Peculiars<\/a>. More recently the artist has combined maps and globes together – but rather than being miniature representations of the whole world, the globes here are spheres of varnished casting plaster containing a segment of an old map of London. From the Agas map of London in 1560<\/a> to the Horwood 1799 map<\/a>, these lovely old maps have been reenvisaged as a high quality globe ornament for any map-lover’s mantlepiece. You can see Julia’s full collection on her webpages<\/a>, but here’s some photos of these wonderful old maps, in globe form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
