The Livingston is a truly unique globe, offering two different views of the world. Unlit, the globe surface shows the physical characteristics of the earth's landforms with colors and raised relief. Turn the light on, and the political and geographical borders appear! Attractively styled with a traditional blue ocean, handsome circular hardwood base, and a die-cast semi-meridian, it compliments any decor. The 12 inch diameter makes it great for any desk or table top.
