The globe is labeled in French and has cream-colored oceans and continents. Coastlines are outlined in green. Mountain ranges are represented pictorially and shaded brown. The equator and ecliptic are highlighted in red. The tracks of Captain Cook’s three voyages and those of Fourneau and La P\u00e9rouse are indicated, and highlighted in green or red. \u00ad\u00adIn North America, the Western portions of present-day America and Canada are largely blank, reflecting known geography of the pre-Lewis and Clark era. West of the Mississippi only a few rivers are depicted. “Canada” encompasses an area east of the Rockies, and Mexico (“Mexique”) includes a large swath of territory north of its present-day border, labeled Apaches. In the eastern United States some major cities and the territories of native tribes are labeled: Cherokees (“Cherakis”), “Ilinois,” and Iroquois, as well as state names in French: Virginie, Floride, Caroline, and Georgie. Hawaii is called the Sandwich Islands; in Alaska, a few islands and coastal landmarks are named.\u00ad Australia is called New Holland (“Nouvelle Hollande”) and Tasmania is presented as an island and labeled “Terre de Diemen.”<\/p>\n
The collection of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England, has a globe (GLB0116) that is apparently in most respects identical to this one, with the date “1801” on the cartouche, except that that cartouche has Delamarche’s previous address at Rue du Foin St. Jacques au Coll\u00e8ge de M’tre Gervais. The National Maritime Museum also has a companion celestial globe in the collection (GLB0117).<\/p>\n
The Delamarche family and successors were the most renowned and prolific producers of armillary spheres in France from the late 18th century to the late 19th century. The firm was founded by Charles-Fran\u00e7ois Delamarche in the late 18th century, as successor to Jean Fortin and the remainder of the workshop of the Robert de Vaugondy family, who had been map and globe makers to King Louis XVI. Delamarche first worked in the Rue du Foin St. Jacques, moving to 13 Rue du Jardinet about 1800 \u2014 the latter being the address on the offered globe. According to Globes of the Western World<\/strong>, the Delamarche firm was the first French globe maker to pursue the educational market and produce affordable globes for the general public.\u00a0They continued production for most of the 19th century, under the management of Delamarche’s son F\u00e9lix and other successors.<\/p>\n Full publication information: C.F.
