Globe
Authors Townsend, Dennis
Full Title (Covers to) Townsend's Patent Folding Globe ... Publishers: George M. Smith & Co., 129 Washington Street, Boston, Mass. Dennis Townsend, Felchville, Windsor County Vt. Edward E. Rice & Co., Steam Job Printers, 5 Hawley Street, Boston, Mass. (On the cover of the folder holding the collapsed globe, on the globe itself: "Patented by Dennis Townsend Feb. 16, 1869").
List No 3891A
Note Townsend's second collapsible globe with an internal mechanism for holding it open. The first collapsible Townsend globe was held open by an external stand - apparently no examples exist. Townsend was a school teacher in Vermont and later in California. His interest in globes was to produce a cheap globe that could be owned and used by students instead of a flat "map which, without explanation, is a false illustration, and can be understood only by a process of reasoning entirely beyond the mind of the child" (from Townsend's "Folding Globe Lessons"). This copy is presumed to be the second issue of this globe - an earlier issue has a somewhat different folder with only Townsend listed as publisher. However, it is not certain that both examples were not produced simultaneously in different cities. Both Globes are dated the same. Originally from the Welsh Collection. With a photocopy of Townsend's Folding-Globe Lessons, and an original advertising flyer for the globe.
