Earth globe early 1950s by French publishing geographers Girard et Barrère

About the Item

Earth globe redacted in the early 1950s by French publishing geographers Girard et Barrère 17 Rue de l'Ancienne Comédie Paris. In addition to the very well delineated spatial map are depicted ocean currents. Good condition, good readability. Black painted metal base and printed cardboard sphere. Height cm 21 - inches 8.8, sphere diameter cm 15 - inches 5.9. Girard et Barrère was a cartographic publishing house founded in 1934; it took over the production of Henry Barrère (1890-1930) and PH Barrère (1931-1933). He worked between 1946 and 1959 under the name Girard, Barrère et Thomas. Man has always wanted to know the world in which he lives and has used all available means to measure the space around him to expand his knowledge more and more. The conditions that enabled humans to develop models of the world and space probably came about only after thinking had reached a stage of development where it understood that natural processes could be represented through a model. As early as ancient Greece, naturalists had come to understand the sphericity of the Earth and its position suspended in space. The earliest known globe is the one attributed by Strabo, historian and geographer, to the Greek Cratetes of Mallo (c.a. 150 B.C.). The first globes in the early 16th century were built under the impetus of the great geographical explorations and immediately began to be used for educational purposes at princely courts, monasteries, and colleges; the globe later began to conquer university circles and high and lower schools. It will be with the nineteenth century of great commerce, circulation and the introduction of compulsory schooling that the desire to learn about distant countries will increase, making the old method of globe construction inadequate. Spindles printed from engraved plates no longer suffice, and the only real resource becomes lithography through which it is possible to print and update maps in a timely manner, which as more and more geographical discoveries are made in different countries become obsolete faster and faster.
