This terrestrial globe, which details the geographic features of the Earth, is part of a pair of library terrestrial and celestial globes. The globes were donated to the Drexel Founding Collection in 1975 by Philip Syng Physick Fell, a member of the Drexel family. In 2015, the pair was sent to Studio T.K.M. in Massachusetts to be conserved and restored to close to their original appearance. The conservators removed discolored varnish, repaired holes and damage to the mechanical pieces and in-painted areas of loss throughout both globes.
