"The first person to direct the production of globes in France at the general public, and to succeed in this, was Charles François Delamarche (1740-1817) ... For use in armillary spheres, a special small terrestrial globe was made, measuring about 2 inches (5.5 cm) ... the meridian of the globe and the rings of the spheres were made, like the horizons, in wood or stiff board. The degrees are printed on paper and stuck on. A characteristic of Delamarche is that the narrow outer side of these rings is painted red" (Dekker Globes from the Western World p 63). Charles François' globemaking business soon dominated the French globe making industry. His son Félix tool over the business in 1817, continuing the high quality work of his father.
