CELESTIAL GLOBE AND ARMILLAIR SPHERE able to form a pair, in plaster covered with edge engraving, varnish, turned and black-tinted wooden legs, metal, cardboard, cream paper printed and colored in red and green. - The celestial globe is composed of a central globe and several concentric circles, with several cartouches: "Globe céleste dans lequel les étoiles fixes sont placées comme elles sont à présent suivant les dernières observations des célèbres astronomes de ce temps", "à Paris, chez le sieur Delamarche géo rue du foin St. Jacques au collège de Me Gervais" and a date "1770". - The armillary sphere, composed of several concentric circles with the months and signs of the zodiac, with a small globe in the center, featuring a cartouche "Globe terrestre à Paris chez Delamarche géo rue du foin St. Jacques au collège de Me Gervais".

The terrestrial globe and armillary sphere come from the workshops of Charles François Delamarche (1740-1817), a lawyer at the Paris parliament, who in 1786 purchased the precious map collection of geographer Didier Robert de Vaugondy, and skilfully exploited it under the title of geographer "successor to Robert de Vaugondy".

Au collège de Me Gervais" and dated 1770. France, early 19th century. Height 43 cm Charles François Delamarche (1740-1817) dominated the market, notably with his 32.5 cm-diameter globes. Delamarche had bought Robert de Vaugondy's collection of documents and exploited them. This was the start of a three-generation dynasty of globe makers.
