Historic globes are fragile objects. Few survive without some evidence of change to the varied materials used in their fabrication, including damage to the globe shell, loss of the paper or design media, staining, entrenched grime, discolouration or loss of the protective varnish, or poor quality repairs. While an improvement in condition is the primary focus of treatment and the foundation of an improvement in appearance, attention directed specifically at the legibility of a globe is equally legitimate. When designing a conservation treatment, it is critical to compare how a particular globe could appear relative to its individual condition, and how that globe should appear relative to other examples of the same edition. A development of particular interest is the option of filling losses via digital photography, image manipulation, and archival printing which can have a major effect on its integrity as a work of cartography.
