The Replogle Hastings Desktop Globe charms with its contemporary geographical information presented in a classic, "Old World" style. The 12 inch globe is 16 inches tall when resting on its walnut-finish hardwood base. A painted-metal die-cast meridian frames the sphere itself, matching the color tones of the map and the stand. The semi-meridian features latitudinal calibrations and a time dial at the North Pole, providing time zone information. The earth toned world globe features a beige colored ocean and rich, pastel hues shading the patchwork of countries. The style features classic map attributes like compass roses, cartouches and legends ornamenting the Replogle desktop globe. Place names are labeled in delicately lettered, fine text. Small, detailed drawings of sailboats designate the routes of early explorers. The map features a raised relief, which means that the planet's topographical information is displayed on the desktop globe three dimensionally.
