Browse Bellerby's Globes

Sure, it's just an overblown salesroom, but your author was particularly taken with the Geographical blueprint: the art of the handcrafted globe exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society when he popped into the launch last week.

Displaying the works of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, the exhibition is a great opportunity to see these beautiful globes - some of which sell for in excess of £30,000 - up close. Though your author could never afford them and even if he could he would spend the money on something else, they certainly have an aesthetic beauty which makes the exhibition well worth dropping into if you're in the area.
