Two engraved sheets, each 12 gores, making up a celestial and terrestrial globe, on laid paper with central watermark depicting a bunch of grapes, sheets 287 x 423 mm, diameter of each globe approximately 113 mm. Celestial: first gore with a dedicatory cartouche, third gore with mapmaker's name and date. Terrestrial: first gore with a dedicatory cartouche, tenth gore with mapmaker's name and date. (A few tiny marginal holes on Celestial gore sheet.)

Shirley records two sets of globe gores, including both celestial and terrestrial: one pair at the Newberry Library, the other at Yale University.  Based on Shirley's examination, he considered them both to be 18th-century pulls. The present examples are printed on half sheets of laid paper with chain lines running horizontally, and with a central watermark depicting a bunch of grapes. According to the Newberry Library, their gores are printed on "19th-century machine-made paper." Spirinx's cartography was based on Francois de Mongenet's celestial and terrestrial globe gores. Examples of any strike of Spirinx's gores are rare at auction: according to online records, we trace only 4 examples of Spirinx's celestial gores, and no examples of Spirinx's terrestrial gores at auction in the last 50 years.
