Ellen Eliza Fitz

She grew to be scholarly and curious, spending most of her time as a teenager translating classical texts, such as the Eclogues of Virgil and publishing poetry.

In her adulthood, Fitz spent a significant amount of her time in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where she worked as a governess and educator.

This was extremely beneficial in allowing students to understand the way in which the Earth rotates and revolves, and how this amounts to the seasons we experience.

Fitz sought to target the frustration of globes lacking a proper mountain system, and educating regarding astronomy and geography being communicated poorly.

As geographical discoveries progressed, and most major land masses had been explored, the globes became very thorough, detailed, and accurate, and even showed ocean currents, and average isotherms.

In the guidebook, there is a description of the globe mounting system and instructions regarding how it is to be used, in addition to exercises on various school subjects.
