45 Historical Photos That Give Us a Unique Glimpse Into the Past

Globe manufacturing has come a long way since the early 20th century when globes were painstakingly crafted by hand. In 1933, the process involved carving wooden spheres and meticulously painting maps of the world onto strips of paper, which were then painstakingly attached to the globes.

Today, global manufacturing has become much more efficient, with machines taking over many of the tasks that were once done by hand. While this has made the process faster and more accurate, some may argue that it has also diminished the charm and personality of the handmade globes of the past.
