Earth globe published in about 1930 by French cartographer J. Forest

About the Item

Earth globe edited circa 1930 by French cartographer J. Forest edition for the Ministry of Education. In addition to the spatial map, ocean currents and major trade routes of the period are outlined. Papier maché ball and turned wood base. Good state. Measurements Height cm 33 - 13 inch, sphere diameter cm 18 - 7.1 inch.. J. Forest made a wide variety of globes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly for educational use. His varied production included table globes, some on turned and ebonized wooden bases, floor globes, and innovative globes, such as those with mechanized rotating bases, or globes that included lighters. In the 20th century Forest produced illuminated globes with modern aluminum bases. The earliest known globe is the one attributed by Strabo, a 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. In the 18th century, the official geographer of Louis XV King of France, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, thanks to the practice he had gained in globe-making, expanded the "Globe" article of the Encyclopédie by detailing the distinction between a celestial globe (representing the concave surface of the sky with its constellations) and a terrestrial globe (representing instead the surface of the Earth with its seas, islands, rivers, cities, etc.) and the techniques for making them: two papier-mâché hemispheres pressed and molded on or inside a hemispherical mold, dried and strengthened inside with a wooden board, then glued and covered with a thin layer of plaster on which the globe spindles of areas between two meridians, usually twelve, were pasted, made of paper previously printed by engraving on a copper plate and colored, each covering 30 degrees of longitude. 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.
