The Renaissance Mercator World Globe provides a glimpse into early innovations in cartography. The globe features an ivory ocean elegantly displayed in a hand-forged wrought iron floor stand. Gerhard Mercator (1512-1594), a Flemish cartographer, introduced such innovations to mapmaking as "rhumb-lines," which covered the map of the oceans to assist navigators in setting their course.
