Special Notes:
Illuminated globes were popular in the mid-20th century (roughly 1930s-1970s). During the post-war recovery period, especially after the 1950s, the middle class increasingly focused on home education, and globes became popular for "children's learning." By adding lighting functionality, they gained prominence in homes as both an "educational tool" and a "stylish interior item." The visual of a map appearing when lit stimulated learning motivation and curiosity, balancing practicality with beauty. The period from the 1920s to the 1950s saw the rapid spread of electrical appliances in general households. Items like refrigerators, radios, and desk lamps were seen as "modern and progressive" if they "lit up." When a globe "lit up," it was instantly valued as a "modern" and "luxurious item."
