Abstract:

Varnish coatings are a very important component of most globes. Problems related to the restoration of these coatings (character of damage, restoration measures) will be discussed both theoretically as well as experimentally. Questions that may contribute to finding a suitable varnishing method for globes are taken into consideration. Results are put into practice by restoring two globes from the stock of Justus Perthes Verlag in Gotha which were industrially produced after 1900. Apart from dealing with varnish coatings, a special problem of the restoration process is the reshaping of the deformed sphere of one of the globes.
