For the Making of the Globe, we selected a set of Victorian celestial gores dated 1852, the same year that Alice Liddel was born, the original gores were first published by Charles Copley of New York. We next removed the celestial images, leaving the equatorial (graduated in degrees, hours and minutes), the ecliptic (graduated in days of the month and the houses of the Zodiac), the stars depicted to nine orders of magnitude with nebulae, labelled with numbers corresponding to the astronomer's catalogue of their source. We then replaced the missing constellations with Alice and her companions. The resulting single printed gores were made to make the 33" diameter prototype globe, this globe which stands on a white Staunton Queen and has a white pawn finial at the North Pole, in order to depict Alice's journey. The globe itself is entirely coloured by hand. The same artwork, with a few modifications, will be used to make the colour printed gores for a smaller 12" diameter globe. Depending on popularity, it is possible that a 33" version will be produced, but this will only be partially coloured by hand and only produced if the 12" version proves popular
