About the Item

Globo terrestre redatto nei primi anni del 1950 dai geografi editori francesi Girard et Barrère 17 Rue de l’Ancienne Comédie Paris. Oltre alla mappa territoriale molto ben delineata sono raffigurante le correnti oceaniche. Buono stato, buona leggibilità. Base in metallo verniciato nero e sfera in cartone stampato. Altezza cm 21 – inches 8.8, diametro sfera cm 15 – inches 5.9. La Girard et Barrère era una casa editrice cartografica fondata nel 1934; ha ripreso la produzione di Henry Barrère (1890-1930) e PH Barrère (1931-1933). Ha lavorato tra il 1946 e il 1959 con il nome di Girard, Barrère et Thomas. Da sempre l’uomo ha desiderato conoscere il mondo in cui vive e ha utilizzato tutti i mezzi a disposizione per misurare lo spazio che lo circonda per ampliare sempre più le proprie conoscenze. Le condizioni che permisero all’uomo di elaborare modelli del mondo e dello spazio si realizzarono probabilmente soltanto dopo che il pensiero ebbe raggiunto uno sviluppo tale da comprendere che si potevano rappresentare, attraverso un modello, processi naturali. Già nell’antica Grecia i naturalisti erano arrivati a comprendere la sfericità della Terra e la sua posizione sospesa nello spazio. Il primo globo di cui si ha notizia è quello attribuito da Strabone, storico e geografo, al greco Cratete di Mallo (c.a. 150 a.C.). I primi globi agli inizi del XVI sec. furono costruiti sotto la spinta delle grandi esplorazioni geografiche ed iniziarono da subito ad essere impiegati per scopi didattici presso corti principesche, monasteri e collegi; il globo comincia in seguito a conquistare gli ambienti universitari e le scuole superiori ed inferiori. Sarà con l’Ottocento del grande commercio, della circolazione e dell’introduzione dell’obbligo scolastico che il desiderio di conoscere paesi lontani aumenterà rendendo inadeguato il vecchio metodo di costruzione dei globi. Fusi stampati da lastre incise non bastano più e l’unica vera risorsa diventa la litografia attraverso la quale è possibile stampare ed aggiornare tempestivamente carte che col crescere delle scoperte geografiche effettuate nei vari paesi diventano obsolete sempre più rapidamente.
