globe is displayed on a classic
Vaugondy stand, with appealing elegant proportions, and
a luxuriant combination of bronze and ebonized wood.

maps. Father and son were map publishers active in Paris during the mid-18th

the journals of explorers and missionaries, and direct astronomical observation.
