About the Item

Engraved wooden and paper maché globe. Equator resting on four quarter meridians on a turned black fruit wooden base with moved profile and circular base. The globe is composed of twelve copper printed paper gores, juxtaposed and glued onto a sphere made of a gypsum-based composite. The gores are finisheed with watercolor hand paint.The meridian ring and the horizon ring are made of papier maché, both also covered with printed paper. The meridian ring is inscribed with degrees of latitude and distances from the poles. The horizon ring, on the other hand, details amplitude, wind directions, days and months of the year, as well as the names and symbols of the zodiac. The globe is signed Delamarche, geographer engineer, rue du Battoir in Paris. Globe Adopted by the Royal Council of Public Instruction.The Maison was founded by Charles François Delamarche ( August 1740 – October 31, 1817)who entered the globe industry as successor to the Robert de Vaugondy family of map and globe makers to King Louis XVI. Delamarche obtained the shops of many of his local competitors, which enabled him to produce globe models in many different sizes. He also republished many Robert de Vaugondy maps and globes. Charles worked with Charles Dien, a cartographer. In 1817 Felix Delamarche, (XVIII cent. – first half of XIX cent. ) son of Charles, took over the business which stayed in the family until 1847, when taken over by Grosselin. Delamarche has been located since 1835 on rue du Battoir, which became rue du Battoir saint-André in 1848. The reference to the Royal Council corresponds to the reform introduced in 1834 by Louis-Philippe. The cartouche on the globe reads : ‘Globe adopté par le conseeil royal de l’instruction publique par Delamarche, Paris, Rue du Battoir , 1845’.
