Bellerby Globes
Euan was commissioned by Bloomsbury publishing and Peter Bellerby to photograph Images for the beautiful Book “The Globe Maker the curious story of an Ancient Craft”
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 include 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 Euan’s photography to tell the story of the craft of globe making .
