Lot Essay

The labelling in Russia and Ethiopia would date this globe to between St Petersburg's renaming in 1924, and the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935, although it was probably produced prior to the increasing numbers of Zeppelin routes in the 1930's, since otherwise they would undoubtedly be shown.
