Eureka Globes - Masterpiece Collection

Globes fascinate us with their unique ability to portray our world as a beautiful sphere. Unlike flat maps, the globe is a perfect Earth model, showing accurate dimensions, directions and distances.

Each globe in the Masterpiece Collection by Eureka has been carefully designed to combine the most accurate geographic information with the finest cartographic styles and handcrafted stands for unsurpassed quality. Our uncompromising attention to detail and legibility produces globes with superb reference value and aesthetic appeal.
 

Unique Map Designs

Three different Eureka designs each represent modern interpretations of traditional cartographic styles throughout history. The oldest style is used on the parchment ocean globe with softly curved type and delicate cosastal vignettes. The light blue ocean globe employs techniques from the 18th and 19th centuries. The deep blue/god globe ball interprets the world in a new, yet classic form to make a bold statement. All globes present current geopolitical information.

Accurate Geopolitical Information

Eureka's mapmakers track changes worldwide, making place name and boundary updates each year. Each border and lable has been carefully researched to provide the most accurate and current information possible.

Easy to Read

Special care is taken to insure that all labels and symbols are legible. To assist those using the globes for reference, abbreviations are utilized only rarely.

Detailed Place Names and Coastlines

Over 3000 place names are included on every globe. Cities, major landforms, rivers and water bodies are labeled. Highly detailed coastlines represent all continents and islands with precision.

Luster Print Inks

Each globe is printed with special lustrous inks to add subtle highlights to decorative elements, much like the gilded portolan charts used by kings centuries ago. The highly polished bronze and blue globe is created entirely from Luster Print Inks, resulting in an enamel-like finish. The parchment ocean globe has gold highlights for decorative elements and the light blue ocean globe uses both copper and blue luminescent inks for decorative elements.
