A Vintage World Globe, printed in Afrikaans by Human & Rousseau, offers a unique glimpse into the global perspective of its time. Founded in 1959 by Koos Human and Leon Rousseau, the publishing company initially focused on Afrikaans literature before expanding to include a broader range of South African works in both Afrikaans and English. The globe likely reflects geopolitical boundaries and features as they were understood during its era of publication, providing a tangible artifact of historical and cultural significance.
Kindly note that this bears the marks of its age with scratches and tape consistent with its journey through time.
