- Related vendor notes with National Library of Australia's copy: "An unusual collapsible umbrella globe, showing the British Empire when it had a population of 450 million and covered approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area. The globe's mechanism was invented by John Betts in 1860; this example a later issue by G. Philip & Sons who manufactured them from Betts' death ca. 1863 to ca. 1925. We have estimated the date of this example by the description of St Petersberg as 'Petrograd (Leningrad)' (renamed by the Soviets in 1924), and the separation of Transjordan from Palestine (1922) but before full independence from the British (1928).".
