A celestial globe made by Emery Molyneux in 1592. Such globes were the first to be made in England and the first to be made by an Englishman. The globe, and a terrestrial globe also manufactured by Molyneux, belong to Middle Temple and are displayed in its library. The caption of the image is: "The Molyneux Celestial Globe. One of a pair at Middle Temple Library. (After a photograph.)"
