The former army officer Emanuel (Manó) Kogutowicz (1851-1908) is considered founder of Hungarian commercial cartography. He compiled his first educational county map in 1884. He edited several school maps in Budapest with the support of the Ministry of Education. In 1890 the first national cartographic firm was founded in Hungary as a joint, Austrian-Hungarian venture. The Hölzel and Co. Hungarian Geographical Institute was transformed after 1895, and became Kogutowicz and Co. Hungarian Geographical Institute. It is remarkable, that Kogutowicz kept his business contact with the Hölzel firm. He used and adapted their school maps for his atlases in Hungarian. Kogutowicz started globe production in Hungary in 1896. In the year of the publication of his first 25.5 cm diameter globe in Budapest, another globe was published by the Hölzel firm in Vienna. A comparison of these little known globes revealed they are almost identical products. This paper investigates the problems of authorship and publisher, and compares the content of the globe gores to offer an explanation. Later Kogutowicz developed a globe program, his firm produced globes in five different sizes and in subsequent editions. The price list of the Kogutowicz firm offers an insight into the business philosophy behind commercial globe making of the early 20th century. As nationalism became substantial in social thinking, the publication of globes in Hungarian language served this ideology. On the other hand, the economical problems caused by the competition with other firms could not be solved by the patronizing state. Résumé
