The spread of Dee's imperial vision are demonstrated by the terrestrial globe, made in 1592 by Emery Molyneux of Lambeth, who had travelled with Drake on one of his voyages. The globe, the first made in England, features the tracks of several important English voyages, and shows the royal coat of arms stamped across America. Molyneux presented the manuscript for the globe to Elizabeth at Greenwich in 1591.

Petruccio Ubaldini, the Italian ambassador, was a witness to this gift and noted that 'he gave her the globe to let her see at a glance how much of the world she could control by means of her naval forces'. The English challenge to Spain's global holdings was no longer a secret, but out in the open for all to see.
