"The Worldviewer 60 is a 16" vintage globe with sixteen wide-angle door viewers mounted on the surface at different latitudes. The viewers reveal the surface of a second, nested globe entirely covered with some 300 images, illuminated by battery-powered LEDs. The outer globe can be rotated 360° in all directions, while the inner globe remains fixed to the axis, allowing the user to circumnavigate the image surface at a given latitude. All the images visible through each viewer relate to its latitude. The vast majority of the images are from found postcards of the early and mid-twentieth century"--Colophon.

"This limited-edition, hand bound book is a smaller reproduction of the unique book accompanying the Worldviewer 60, an interactive modified globe sculpture. The original book measures 8" x 8" and includes a page with instructions for care and maintenance of the Worldviewer 60 as well as a different version of this page. Project conceived and developed by Anna & Leo Daedalus with Samuel Miller, September-November 2011"--Colophon.
