The Delagrave publishing house was founded in 1865 through the purchase by Charles Delagrave of a modest publishing collection of classical Greek and Latin authors. This publishing house benefited from the impetus given to secular education by the Third Republic. The publisher quickly expanded into a wide range of disciplines (history, geography, mathematics, natural sciences, philosophy, astronomy).

 Dated after 1870  : Alsace Loraine part of the Germany 1871 , Congo is not yet named free state of Congo ( 1877) and is mostly unexplored (  see  picture) ,  polar island  of Frantz Joseph land in the North pole sea (1872), Alaska ( 1867). Overall all  of the countries are easy to read and to discern. The printing is really nice  and well done  , this type of globe belongs to the tradition of globe making of the 19th  century : 12 full gores on a solid ball of plaster .The Delagrave globes have  been described as a" fine quality engravings with simple, practical cartography" .
