Description

This magnificent Rand McNally World Portrait Globe, model No. 4992 dubbed The Universal, is a stunning physical-political relief globe that captures the world as it existed during the Cold War era, complete with the Soviet Union sprawling across Central Asia and USSR republics clearly labeled. The globe features a beautifully detailed raised-relief surface with ocean floor topography, a full meridian ring calibrated in miles, and rests on a sleek brushed gold-tone metal pedestal base with a classic mid-century modern silhouette. The cartography is exceptional, showing submarine ridges, ocean basins, city population classifications, and vegetation zones in rich blue, green, and cream tones that still pop with vivid color. Best of all, this beauty comes with its original Rand McNally shipping box, making it a dream find for globe collectors and geography enthusiasts who want the full vintage package.
