The earliest globes, made in the Classical world, were painted directly onto solid spheres. In the late fifteenth century, a new technique was developed of printing globe "gores" which could then be pasted onto the sphere (70, 71). This innovation seems to have been made in response to a cultural movement that treated globes as symbols of status, education, and wealth. Starting with Lorenz Beheim's 1517 purchase of both a terrestrial and a celestial globe, early modern consumers generally bought pairs of globes, together representing the entirety of God's creation (72, 73); a wealthy consumer could also purchase an armillary sphere, a three-dimensional model of the cosmos's geometry, which made explicit how the earth was tied inextricably to the heavens (74, 75).
