Peter Bellerby is the founder of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers,
the world’s only truly bespoke makers of globes. His team of
skilled craftspeople make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and
planetary globes for customers around the world. The story began
after his attempt to find a special globe for his father’s 80th
birthday. Failing to find anything suitable, he decided to make one
himself which took him on an extraordinary journey of rediscovering
this forgotten craft. The chapters of The Globemakers take us
through the journey of how to build a globe, or ‘earth apples’
as they were first known, and includes fascinating vignettes on
history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as the
day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself. This beautiful
book uses illustration, photography and narrative to tell the story
of our globe and many different globes it has inspired.
