Hello,

I received the email request below for information about a globe by A.
J. Wightman. Do any of you own one of these globes?  If so, would you
have any idea where you bought it, or other information?
I see a similar globe on the OMNI web
site, http://www.omnimap.com/catalog/globes/bathy.htm but it doesn't
tell who the producer of the globe is.

Thanks - Cynthia Jahns, UC Santa Cruz


* "Recently, a friend of a donor inquired about a globe (see attached)
by A. J. Wightman (a relative of his)
-http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/explore/object.cfm?ID=GLB0199 - which
may have been purchased by the University in the late 1960s or early
1970s. Wightman's work is in the Globe Museum in Vienna and the National
Maritime Museum in London."
