Replogle was founded in 1930 in Chicago by Luther Irvin Replogle, who began by handcrafting globes with the goal of making them common household objects. His vision was to transform the globe from a school or academic instrument to an object that should be part of every home. His motto was "a globe in every home."
During the 20th century, it became the world's largest globe manufacturer, combining artisanal techniques with industrial production. As it expanded, it adopted industrial methods while maintaining a tradition of craftsmanship throughout many stages of production.
The founder's name remains closely linked to the brand's identity: Luther Replogle was also the United States Ambassador to Iceland from 1969 to 1972.
It was with the nineteenth century, marked by widespread trade, circulation, and the introduction of compulsory education, that the desire to explore distant lands increased, making the old method of globe construction inadequate. Printed globes from engraved plates were no longer sufficient, and the only real resource became lithography, which made it possible to print and promptly update maps that, with the growth of geographical discoveries in various countries, became increasingly obsolete.
