This 9 inches French globe is a "forest " with an address in Paris , 17 rue de Buci , this company was a School supply and a map editor company during the 19th. century which disappeared in the early 20th. The printing is really nice and well done , this type of globe belong to the tradition of globe making of the 19th century : 12 full gores on a solid ball of plaster .The wood mount is Napoleon III in style ( Violet-Leduc) but was in use until the early 20th. The Forest company is a very well know French company which produced until the 1950's and become " Taride" in later date. It is in fair condition , some small stable crack , some fading of the color in Europe , small foxing spot , it is still a good value in term of historical content and decorative cachet. Israel is not yet on the map , leningrad instead of Petrograd , Austria not part of Germany , URSS still Russia , Leningrad so it point to the mid 1925 to 1930.
