EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Pair of Globes, meticulously designed and assembled by the talented Jean-Antoine Nollet in Paris, France during the years 1728-1730. The terrestrial map was skillfully engraved by Louis Borde, an esteemed French artist active in the 18th century, while the celestial map bears the intricate engravings of Nicolas Bailleul le jeune from the 1740s. The globes themselves are adorned with exquisite lacquer decoration attributed to the Workshop of Guillaume Martin and Etienne-Simon Martin, renowned artisans who flourished between 1689 and 1770. Crafted using printed paper, papier-mache, poplar, spruce, alder painted with vernis Martin (a type of varnish), and bronze accents; these globes are truly a work of art. With their stunning craftsmanship and attention to detail, this Pair of Globes transports us back to a time when cartography was both scientific exploration and artistic expression. They serve as a testament to human curiosity about our planet Earth and its place within the vast cosmos. Whether displayed in a study or library or admired for their historical significance in museums worldwide; these globes continue to fascinate viewers with their beauty and timeless appeal. A true treasure from centuries past that captures both our imagination and desire for knowledge.
