Antique Terrestrial globe on ebonised wooden stand (c.1895) on brass support on turned wooden stand by J. Forest, PARIS

J. Forest made a variety of globes, largely for school use, but also for home use. Their vast variety included odd novelty globes, such as terrestrial globes on geared turntable stands and cigarette lighters incorporating globes. Forest globes were mostly in French, with some produced for export in English or Spanish.
