Experience the world of George Glazer Gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. An unsurpassed emporium of antique world and celestial globes and maps, along with science-oriented prints and instruments.

An awesome adventure like you are being transported to a Victorian store of wonderments and curiosities on Diagon Alley, the cobblestoned wizarding shopping district of Harry Potter. Almost overwhelming, as if entering the private library of Sherlock Holmes in a Guy Ritchie movie. Dense and cluttered albeit curated, balancing high intellect with chaotic eccentricity.

George Glazer Gallery abounds with wonderous art and antiques, including natural history prints of exotic animals and plants, hour glasses, phrenology busts, orrery astronomy devices, relics of the first transatlantic cable by Tiffany, Piranesi etchings, and Grand Tour treasures. Perfect for today’s sophisticated collector as if originally selected for members of the Society of Dilettanti in the Age of Enlightenment, with an abiding interest in all aspects and disciplines of the liberal arts and sciences.

This special experience to delight the senses and engage the mind awaits you. By appointment. Preview at georgeglazer.com.

Terrestrial and Celestial globes in 9 awesome historical pictures and photographs from 1565 to 1965, as George Glazer Gallery celebrates Earth Day.

This carousel traces how people of the world through the ages have interacted with
globes as representations of our planet. The images range from a 1565 Renaissance
engraving of Geometry personified, to a celestial globe examined by John Glenn
during the Space Age of the 1960s. Our view of the world was radically changed as
he orbited roughly 160 miles above the Earth’s surface.

Along the way we encounter a Victorian schoolboy at his table globe; World War I
imagery of children of four continents gathered around a terrestrial sphere and of
sister nations of Europe; a Soviet geography classroom of students, a Pan
American world route air travel route map, and an oversized Replogle floor globe
studied by small children.

Knowledge through study. Connection through travel. People power and
stewardship of the Earth through unity and cooperation. The globe has always been
a small instrument for a larger idea — that the planet is, finally, one thing, and ours
in common.

🌍 Happy Earth Day 2026 from George Glazer Gallery.

Part 2: The Trippensee Tellurian in action. ☀️🌍🌙

We’re demonstrating how this remarkable teaching instrument works. Turn the arm and watch: the Earth rotates once a day, the Moon orbits once a month, and Venus gets in gear revolving around the sun.

When Earth tilts the Northern Hemisphere toward the sun, that’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere, including New York. Keep turning and soon the autumn leaves will be rustling.

No batteries. No software updates. Just early 20th-century gears turning chains.

A wonderful astronomical device to add to your collection and a decorative conversation piece that will intrigue anyone you show it to.

One more Trippensee demonstration coming next. Stay tuned.

A piece of American history—Wild West 1844, brought to life. 🐎💨

Watch as George Catlin’s “Catching the Wild Horse” (Plate 4) breaks out of the frame. Originally printed in London by Day & Haghe for Catlin’s premier North American Indian portfolio, this hand-colored lithograph is already renowned for its dynamic energy.

By animating the scene, we wanted to highlight the incredible tension and movement Catlin captured on the plains over 180 years ago. It’s a fresh way to appreciate the meticulous detail of a true foundation piece of Western Americana.

from George Glazer Gallery!

This detailed scientific study of a Pacific islands fruit bat known as the Mariana Fruit Bat (AKA Mariana Flying Fox) is from Louis de Freycinet's Atlas Zoologique based on his round-the-world voyage from 1817-1820, a series ranking among the finest natural history studies ever made.
