Made by ‘Gerard Valck’ after ‘Adriaen van der Werff’. Gerard Valck / Gerardus Valk (1652-1726) was an engraver and a printseller in Amsterdam. He was specialized in cartography and globes. His Celestial and Earth globes were innovative, based on the latest scientific information with less text and images, while his competitors sticked with the Blaeu designs based on Tycho Brahe. As such the Valck/Schenk firm gained an absolute monopoly in globe-making and selling that were sold throughout the 18th c. Adriaen van der Werff (Dutch; 1659-1722) originated from Rotterdam. He was famous for his classical paintings.
