Sender: ahudson <[log in to unmask]>




     The Hunt-Lenox globe, ca. 1510, is once again on display at NYPL for
     the edification of NY metro area mapsters. The globe is "among the
     earliest representations of the Americas..." according to the label
     text, written by Special Collections staff.  The globe is accompanied
     by the Gutenberg Bible, well, NYPL's copy...

     These are in Room 316, the Salomon Gallery, for a temporary stay. Will
     let you know end date when I can ferret that out. The Special
     Collections staff put these out on display with no notice to staff or
     public, as far as I know, so I apologize for lack of info. here.
