Miniature plaster core sphere covered with hand-colored varnished paper showing the continents, accompanied by a 32-panel miniature folding panorama. Each panel shows an inhabitant of a different country in characteristic costume, hand-colored and labeled in English, German, and French. The panorama is anchored to the inside of the original green and orange cubical box with a printed, colored label. This charming educational toy is in fine condition, and has the most folding costume panels of any set we have encountered. The panorama measures 1 7/8 inches (48mm) tall; the globe is approximately 1 5/8 inches (42mm) in diameter. Box shows uniform toning, as well as the previous owner's ink calculations for scale to box sides and bottom; panorama and globe are fine.
