Globes From The Western World notes that: "the German immigrant Joseph Schedler ... started producing maps and globe in the 1850s. He carried off three medals with his globes: at the Paris International Exhibition of 1867, the American Institute fair of 1869 and the Vienna International Exhibition of 1873 ... in 1875 he published An Illustrated Manual for the Use of the Terrestrial and Celestial Globes" (p. 142).
