These globes are extremely valued for their skillfully made colored copper engravings and the fact that they were being constantly renewed based on the most recent discoveries of the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other two paired globes were made in 1750 by Johann Friedrich Endersch, cartographer, mechanic and royal mathematician of German origin, who dedicated the globes to the Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland Augustus III. These globes represent a very special period and are extremely rare, as J. F. Endersch produced only a few of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This unique heritage of history of science and culture is important not only to Lithuania, but also to the whole Europe. It reflects our country&#8217;s scientific and international relations, as well as the tradition of patronage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"featured_media":227927,"template":"","project_type":[19],"class_list":["post-1643","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-finansuoti"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Funding to Preserve Rare 17th\u201318th Century Globes - Vilnius University Foundation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Funding to Preserve Rare 17th\u201318th Century Globes - Vilnius University Foundation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Vilnius University owns four globes from the old observatory.
