A collection of globes like you’ve never seen

This photograph from the 1930’s shows the large globe in the Daily News building in New York City:

Not really a globe of Planet Earth, but a spherical structure meant to symbolize the "One World of 1939", this colossal structure was built for the 1939 New York World's Fair. It also doubled as a huge planetarium.
