The 1950's film, Journey to the Center of the Earth, starring James Mason, Pat Boone and Arlene Dahl, is miniaturized, highly altered and viewable through a small hole punctured through a vintage desktop globe.
Jules Verne's fin de siecle novel; Journey to the Center of the Earth is a fantastic story into the realm of the invisible. In some ways the novel was a precursor to our present recognition of global politics. By physically traveling to the center of the earth, Jules Verne makes the reader reconsider the earth itself.
