For the historical view of the use of globes, see
 
Globi Neerlandici : the production of globes in the Low Countries / Peter
van der Krogt. =97 Utrecht : HES Publishers, 1993. (see:
<http://www.forum-hes.nl/hes.htm>)
 
mainly:
chapter 6: Globe use and globe users in the seventeenth century
chapter 10: Globes for the general public
 
Btw, chapter 11 The nineteenth and twentieth centuries: from 'Etablissement
G=E9ographique de Bruxelles' to 'Eerste Nederlandsche Globe Industrie'
discusses the large world map by Vandermaelen, which could be mounted to a
globe of c. 7.75 meters diameter.
