The beautiful, contemporary colors of the CONTINENTAL with its unique "see-through" design provide an ideal way to learn the geographical relationships between the different continents and countries of the world. With eye-catching graphics artfully hand silk-screened on the interior surface of museum-quality acrylic, this sphere offers unsurpassed optical clarity and beauty.
Every CONTINENTAL sphere features the most up-to-date cartography, country boundaries, capitals, major cities, bodies of water, and latitude and longitude markings. Because the spheres are transparent, you can better understand geopolitical relationships and how we travel around our planet. An information-packed booklet and wax pencil for marking your travels are included. There's even a Certificate of Authenticity signed and dated by the craftsman who created your sphere.
CONTINENTALS are available in five-, eight-, twelve-, sixteen-, and thirty-inch diameter spheres. Choose the beautiful Atlas colors on either the sculptured or pedestal base. A floorstand is also available for the sixteen-inch sphere (overall height is thirty-eight inches) and thirty-inch sphere.
Also available, the CONTINENTAL Geographical Learning Center. This extraordinary learning tool combines a twelve-inch Continental sphere with a special pedestal base encasing a deluxe Mapbook World Atlas. The Mapbook, compiled in conjunction with the Associated Press, includes demographic information by country details on specific locations, magnificent colored maps, and much more. This lovely combination is perfect for educating ourselves about the geography of our home planet.
The CONTINENTAL Sphere is also available in thirty-inch diameter, with a wonderfully hand crafted floorstand. The overall height of the sphere and base is forty-nine inches. It's the perfect sphere for boardrooms, lobbies, large residential rooms, or classroom presentations.
This impressive thirty-inch diameter sphere is also available in our ONYX EARTHSPHERE, CRYSTAL EARTHSPHERE, BLUE/GREEN EARTHSPHERE and STARSHIP EARTH models. Custom spheres up to six feet in diameter are available upon request.
