Papier-mâché and plaster sphere covered with the segments of lithographed and watercolor paper, turned and ebonized wood base, complete with engraved brass meridian semicircle.

Joseph Forest 1865-1942, French geographer and cartographer founded his publishing house in 1886 in Paris on Rue de Buci, making terrestrial and celestial globes, school maps and armillary spheres, mainly for educational use.
In 1889 it became the official supplier of schools by the Ministry of Education.
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.
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. In the 18th century, the official geographer of King Louis XV of France, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, due to the practice he gained in globe construction,
expanded the "Globe" article in 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.
