Historical Globes

Two of the leading map makers in France in the 18th century were the Vaugondys - father and son. In 1757, they published The Atlas Universel, one of the most important atlases of the 18th century.

The Vaugondys also produced globes in a variety of sizes which were made by gluing copperplate-printed gores on a plaster-finished papier-mache core, a complicated and expensive manufacturing process, employing several specialists.

The 18th century globe collection from Authentic Models features a wide range of antique globes from this era. These globes are made using original charts, researched for their historical accuracy and visual appeal.
