Terrestrial table globe. It forms a pair with the celestial globe, Colom GLB0171. Geographical details on the sphere include loxodromes for 32 compass points. California is drawn as an island and there is a label for 'Buttons bay'. The hypothetical southern continent is labelled. There is a comment in Asia, but the northern boundary of Japan is not drawn.

Some of the Dutch explorations in 1606 with the vessel ''t Duyfken' are shown. The explorations of Schouten and Ie Maire are mapped. There is text near the coast of New Guinea and a group of islands discovered by Schouten and le Maire. The Dutch explorations of Australia up to 1627 are shown with six labels and two comments on the land. Extensive decorative scenes are drawn in the oceans. There is advice to the reader at North America and in the hypothetical southern continent. Eight oceans are named.

This printed globe is the earliest in our collections to show the exploration of Australia. Most other discoveries on this globe are copied from a 1627 map by Hessel Gerritsz, cartographer of the Chamber of Amsterdam of the Dutch East India Company. There is little evidence to presume that there existed an earlier state of the present globe.
