MOGG, EDWARD. Mogg's Dissected Globe. London: Edward Mogg, March 1st, 1812. Twelve pieces of printed and hand-colored card slotted together to form a globe, comprising two vertical sections with maps of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, two vertical sections with an armillary sphere, four horizontal sections with the circles of latitude, a central diagonal section with the horizon band, and the bottom horizontal section with a compass rose. The globe measures approximately 6 x 4 inches (16 x 9 cm); offered assembled and housed in a Victorian-style glass cloche on a giltwood base; Together with, An Explanation and Description of Mogg's Dissected Globe... and Directions for Forming the Globe. Printed pamphlet; Mogg's Dissected Globe. Advertisement. Printed card advertisement; and The original case. Printed card, with an image of a table globe, the title, and imprint. The pamphlet, ad, and case are framed together. The globe with a small loss to the printed surface at the top of the Western Hemisphere affecting the meridian ring and the northeasternmost part of North America, slight curve to the globe's feet, faint creasing and toning to the pamphlet at edges, the ad lightly toned and with a pencil mark, the case with dampstaining and wear, and a small label numbered in ink, complete with all parts, not examined out of the cloche or frame.
Edward Mogg's "Dissected Globe" is a cleverly designed puzzle toy that taught children through play, rather than by study or rote memorization. By reading the pamphlet and assembling the globe, students would learn the basic principles of astronomy and geography, as well as the functions of the various parts of globes and other astronomical instruments. This trend of learning through active experimentation was very much in vogue in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as evidenced by the numerous forms of educational toys and games that were produced during the period. Following the success of this globe, Mogg published a dissected celestial sphere the following year. While his dissected globes are scarce, they are even rarer when found complete with the original pamphlet, advertising leaf, and printed card case.

NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will present an auction of Rare Books, Autographs & Maps on Friday, April 11, 2025 at 10am. The sale includes an extensive collection of illustrated books and fine bindings, many from a private collection purchased at auction in the 1970s and off the market until the present time. Here are copies of the first edition of Nerciat’s erotic classic Le Diable au Corps, and an early and curiously illustrated edition of the exceedingly naughty Academie des Dames. From the same collection comes a splendid Levitzky binding with batik endpapers on a work illustrated by Georges Barbier, with an original watercolor by the master. Many finely bound sets are featured in the sale, most notably an exceptionally luxurious set of Charles Dickens, one of 15 copies bound in sixty volumes, in superb red levant morocco with onlays.
As usual, the sale includes a selection of interesting maps and atlases, such as a copy of Turgot’s 1734 bird’s eye plan of Paris, and a finely colored celestial map by Andreas Cellarius. Additionally, there is a sizable group of globes and instruments in the auction, including a pair of 15-inch library globes and a 20-inch celestial globe by Cary, as well as three English pocket globes, a “dissected” paper globe, and a collection of rare pocket-sized navigational instruments and sundials, notably an exquisite 17th century silver “Butterfield” type sundial by the Parisian instrument maker Pierre Sevin.
One lot that bears special note is the Latin grammar owned by the young Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, used by him while studying for his baccalaureate examination. In this, the artist has penned hundreds of tiny ink sketches, ranging from studies of horses to caricatured faces. Toulouse-Lautrec was 16 to 17 years old at the time, and his genius was just starting to declare itself, evident in the precocious studies of horses in this work, which make the annotations far more compelling than mere juvenalia.
Also, in the auction are selections of Americana, travels and voyages, and a wide range of early printing. In this last category, a complete copy of Graevius’s great 1722 work on Venice is offered, the Splendor Magnificentissimae Urbis Venetiarum Clarissimus with the two large folding plates of the city and all the double-page views of piazzas and palazzos.
The Collection of President Gerald R. Ford and First Lady Betty Ford

Of the jewelry, President Ford’s Omega and Piaget watches are offered, as is a sapphire ring that belonged to First Betty Ford.
