His journey to Peru was partially funded by National Geographic Society. The globe features a hardwood two-tone base reminiscent of the terraces and architecture rediscovered in 1911, combined with elegant antique parchment colored cartography.

Thousands of place names include continents, countries, capitals, biggest/important cities, bodies of water and more.
